Updates

Greetings! It's been quite some time since I've written, so I thought I would take some time to update!

Following a wonderful layoff in NYC, we did a quick five show weekend in Albuquerque, NM. From there, we moved to Dallas, TX for a two week run. We had a wonderful time in Dallas at the beautiful AT&T Performing Arts Center. In addition to sharing a hotel with the cast of DREAMGIRLS, we traded tickets and forged friendships (We will cross paths again in San Francisco!). In addition, we were able to see the world premiere/revisal of SUPERMAN at the Dallas Theatre Center. In addition to officially meeting MTI ShowSpace vlogger Andrew Keenan-Bolger, I befriended fellow Beef & Boards veteran Cara Statham Serber and saw old BSU alums Christopher "Waffles" Wathen and Aaron Johansen. The boys showed me some fun nights out on the town and are both doing incredible work in theatre! Go Cardinals!

Fayetteville was a welcome adjustment. Coming from NYC and Dallas, it was very quite! We had a great gym with Clubhaus Fitness and I met quite a few fun people. Our local staff were all incredible people and I miss them already!

Now we are in Kansas City at the Starlight Theatre. Prior to arriving, I took a day to play in Branson with fellow cast mate Clifford Lyons. Cliff and I left after our last show in Fayetteville to drive to his Mother's home. It was nice to be in a house--albeit only two nights--with comfort, charm, and a delightful miniature poodle! Cliff and I had an awesome golden day at Silver Dollar City, Tanger Outlets and the Showboat Branson Belle!

Moo Moo Country Fun!

The Cotton Blossom?

Nothing like Dinnertainment!

Now that we are here in Kansas City, I'm reminded of my days at Jenny Wiley! Should be an interesting week...bats, bugs, and heat! The show starts with a national anthem before the curtain rises and the cast is introduced to 7,800+ seats. Since the sun doesn't go down until about nine, some of the initial illusions are adjusted for this unique space. Luckily, we have a cozy air-conditioned hotel to return to every evening!

Finally, I'll conclude this leg of tour with two weeks in San Francisco. My buddy Tyler may come visit!!! I'm excited to meet California and this historic and beautiful city.

Following San Francisco, I have a layoff from August 30 to September 19 and I've decided to come home to Indiana!!! I'm anxious to visit my three nephews and my newly married Kristin Rapp! I'm also having Lasik done on September 10. It will be great to be around my entire family, correct my vision, and see old friends. (I'm making plans now--let's talk!)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
