So it begins: Wowza
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/08/wowza.html
Tuesday, August 27, 2013. I have been involved in a few audition sessions with DLO as music director or director, but never experienced auditions like these. Not only did we move the location, which was fine, a nice space with a different vibe, but we ran it as if we were "real" theatre. Well, we are! The prep that is going and gone into this production, the vision casting and brainstorming, the auditions (beyond extraordinary! Till then, I gotta get some 90's vibes going and get ready to sweat! When you...

So it begins: Giddy as a School Girl
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/09/giddy-as-school-girl.html
Thursday, September 5, 2013. Giddy as a School Girl. So, ever since auditions-which were awesome by the way-there have been several of us on the production team who have been texting like crazy. Like school girls on the bus to a field trip at Turkey Run! I remember those trips, always fun and just giddy. How often did you get to spend a whole day with all of your friends and not have to open a book or listen to the teacher or eat cafeteria food? That is how we've been. Off to school to get giddy!

So it begins: We start at the beginning
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/08/we-start-at-beginning.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. We start at the beginning. It's a very nice place to start! No, we aren't doing that show.RENT begins with a lease. Sign your life away and commit to the process, commit to the steps. I think we might be on an 8th floor walk-up! I can't wait to see the results. They are going to amaze. We have had a few team meetings getting ready. Auditions are only one week away. Today, we feast! August 19, 2013 at 6:51 AM. As the Stage Manager of this show- -I am with you all the way, Jesse an...

So it begins: Drowning
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/10/drowning.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. I am flooded with thoughts all the time. Can't seem to get them out of my head. This musical, this community, this process, all keep scrolling through my head. What I need to do, what I want to do, what I do. I can breathe, so I know I am not drowning, but it is here all the time. I love it! I find the process the most intense. I am a people watcher and boy, do I have some people to watch! They share, they sing, they move, they emote (throw chairs)! October 2, 2013 at 2:30 PM.

So it begins: Nobody wanted the pizza
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/08/nobody-wanted-pizza.html
Monday, August 19, 2013. Nobody wanted the pizza. Yesterday I experience my first peasant feast. Our first full production meeting for the show. It was interesting and eclectic. If you don't know the reference to a peasant feast, here is a snippet from lifecafe.com. Make your own 'pizza' (hotdog buns, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese). Things are happening in our production already and we haven't even had auditions! Reaching, connecting, growing. That is what it is all about and we can see the seedling...

So it begins: Happy to be in the details
http://behindthelegs.blogspot.com/2013/08/happy-to-be-in-details.html
Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Happy to be in the details. You know the old saying, right? We see people who need a break, people who just want to be involved with the shows on their personal bucket list, people who come in for just this one show, because it is their favorite and our community happens to be doing it. We see so many, many different types of people take part in so many ways; some never leave. That is the community that DLO grows. We will be at auditions in just a few days and the magic will o...
