I havnt posted on this blog in forever.Well since this is a blog for my acting only and I havnt done any acting since Alice in Wonderland there hasn't been much to post about.

But in a week I will be starting theater camp.We will be doing Annie so im really excited for that and ill try to do a post every day after camp.Even though nobody in the world probably reads this blog its more for myself to go back and read about my acting experiences than anything else.

Today was Alice in Wonderland!

The whole cast did an AMAZING job!

After the show about 5 people came up to me and told me I was a natural on stage :)

Every show I keep improving myself and I am really dedicated to this whole acting thing it makes me really happy.

Okay Just a post to tell you guys the play is REALLY coming along our perfomance is THIS sunday.We talked in british accents and I made up my own choregraphy for the song "Hook is a Crook" 

We used costumes for the first time I wear a Green dress as Mrs.Darling and as Peter Pan I wear this green thing with tights and a belt and of course my sword!

During break we all went out into the lobby and the tutterow dances where lookng at us like we where crazy and I was still talking in a accent and im pretty sure I scared this one little blonde girl!

Anyways Im really excited for the play on sunday its gonna be blast!

Oh and the poster is finally realesed!

Well I am about to head off to Peter Pan Rehersals and wanted to post a few things before I left.

Well recently me and my mom have been learning how to get your SAG card.

You have to have 3 creditied works in a non-union production so I have joined a  casting site and will be waiting for info about local non-union casting that way I can get my SAG card.

The reason I want my SAG card is because alot of directors only hire members of SAG,even if it is local and not in L.A. so I want to get it that way I don't have to worry about any of that stuff.

It won't be easy but I am hoping to audtion for some short films in my area soon so I can get the ball rolling.

Also after christmas I will be getting my official headshots done and I will also be going into a studio to do a voice over reel.

Anyways I have to go get ready for Peter Pan rehersals I will Blog later about how rehersals went.
