GIFT OF THE MAGI - A Musical (last minute put in)
Something an actor never really believes will actually happen until it legitimately does. I got a call at 10 am from the professional theater in my home town saying that the lead in there musical was sick and wanted me to be their replacement. I love a challenge and may be a little bit insane, so I said yes. I had just a few hours to learn all the music to a show I had never seen before, had one put in blocking rehearsal with a cast I had never met before, and went on that night, script and music in hand, in a costume that was not my own, as the lead of the show.
The following night, the composer of the show, Josh Schmidt, came to watch the show and I was lucky enough to get some help on the music with him!
