Show #3 Has Begun :)




OK - the first pic. is from our wild and crazy - yet very very HILARIOUS White Trash Christmas Party. Then I just liked this pic. of Roland and so I decided to add it as well!


First off: YAY I'm 24!!!! hahaha Today has been a really GREAT day! I got flowers from someone special *wink ;) and my cast got me a cake and a gift certificate to the mall. It was soooo sweet!!! We are going to have a nice dinner tomorrow night and then go to the beach Sunday so this will be a weekend of birthday celebrating! I can't wait!!!!!!!


Other than that, we started our 3rd show yesterday, so we are now working on "Piano Man". So, far I really like it. Our new director for this show is great and very laid back so we really get along well. I'm singing some really good stuff in this one: "Superstition" - Stevie Wonder, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"- Elton J., "Georgia on my Mind" - Ray C. etc etc. This one will most likely be my 2nd favorite next to the country show.


I will definitely say that all the material is starting to pile up now, so I'm really trying to be dedicated to all 3 shows...which is really hard! Learning new material and still trying to improve the last two shows is taking a tole on my mind, but it's coming along slowly but surely! AND I'm not alone in this battle - everyone is feeling the same way, so atleast I'm not the only one that feels this way.
Keep updating me on how things are going where you guys are! I love getting messages, texts, phone calls - just anything to keep me posted!!
His,
Kristian

Good Morning, Kristian!

How much FUN you are having! What a great birthday party weekend you had! Is it not so cool that you are 24, single and working in your first professional show? I know how much work it is. I know the material is piling up. The great news is that the more you live with it, the more a part of you the shows become. It only gets better, so hang in there.

Sounds (and looks) like the White Trash Christmas party was a blast, not to mention a real "bonding" time! I'm so glad all of you get along so well.

I thought about you on Friday night on the way to graduation. A year ago, last Friday night, you walked across the platform and received your diploma from Dr. Bill Meehan. It was a milestone night, for sure. A year later, you are having a blast at a thing called "White trash Christmas party", yet again, another rite of passage. Go figure.

Have a great week and hang in there. It will all come together for all of you and you will have a great show. Have fun!

Love, Mrs. Stricklin

You sure some of your castmates in that picture aren't from Weedowee or Munford? Another month and you will be on the ship. I miss you, but I am so excited for you.

Love,
Dad

You know, Kristian, after looking at this picture of the White Trash Christmas party again, the thought occured to me that everyone in that picture looked rather normal. That's really scary. It is so sad to think that I see that sort of dress all the time. (Not from you, of course, but from your peers)
Have a great weekend!

Love, Mrs. Stricklin
