I want to shout out who I've gotten to work with here in Boston this year. Howie's been working his ass off -- he tries everything I throw at him, comes back, and I'm like dayummm, you practiced. (I'm still amazed at how well practicing works.)
He's got a clear plan and repertoire dream when he walks in the door, his and his music binders in a pleasing sea foam green, and he's kind.
He goes there, makes alien sounds, opens up parts of his psyche and soul and is brave. He's also been working closely with a terrific Boston area acting teacher, Ashleigh Reade who was at BoCo and is full time over at BU now.
Today was his first day of school for his first regional gig here in Boston -- Reagle Music Theatre's production of South Pacific -- covering Emile and swinging most of the Seabees. Huge responsibility --talk about a cannon shot for your first time out.
Proud of you, Howie -- you're going to do great in this company, and they're lucky to have you. I get so excited to see the tools working for you all and moving you in the direction you want to go. π
