Started the week with an audition in Pittsfield with the Barrington Stage Company. It was less than a stellar performance. Let my nerves get to me and cracked on the song. Oh well, another learning experience. I'm going to start sounding like a losing baseball team - Just wait til next year. I've never really spent much time working on getting my voice in shape for an audition. I've always just sort of sung myself into vocal shape. If I'm really serious about getting musical roles, I going to have to work a little harder.
I spent quite a few hours this week in the role of Executor for the estate of a friend, meeting with the lawyer for the estate, marshaling assets, responding to multiple e-mails from heirs and legatees. Lets hope the rest of this process is not as time consuming as the first two weeks have been.
Wednesday was one of the highlights of the week, met my friend Tim at Gore Mountain. That's Tim in his ski togs. Here he is at lunch
We ate at the mid-mountain restaurant with a great view of the high peaks.
This is the top of a trail called Cloud. The conditions were pretty good. Gore is a much larger mountain than Jiminy. In fact it's almost two mountains. To get to the actual summit of Gore, you take a gondola to the top of one ridge, ski down the backside of that shoulder, and then take another chair to the actual top. You can get some great long runs in,and we did.
We got our moneys worth, with around 20 runs for the day. There is More Gore.
Ended the week with good news. Met my friend Eric Peterson for lunch on Friday. Eric is Artistic Director of Oldcastle Theatre Company in Bennington. I had given him a copy of my play and he has been very encouraging. As a matter of fact, it appears that Oldcastle will sponsor a formal staged reading in the Fall. I guess I better finish the rewrite of the second act.
