2,000 kids, 34 towns, 1 show --------- MY NATIONAL TOUR: Santa Rosa!

So basically I just graduated from University of Miami with a B.F.A in Acting and this is my first job in the "Real World". I decided that I would document this wild adventure and share with everyone the fear, the rewards and the reality of doing a 12 month Children's Theatre National Tour. My job is to arrive into town Sunday, audition 25-350 kids Monday and by Saturday pull off a full musical production of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" starring yours truly, Christopher Nelson Harbur.

Santa Rosa!

It turns out that we had about 115 at the audition which threw Katie and I off a bit because we had prepared for around 200...We ended up casting the entire show in 45 minutes and having an hour to check and double check our decision. The space is H-U-G-E at the Wells Fargo Center and seats 1500+. They have Ringo Star coming tonight and Bill Cosby in a month or so. I am a little worried about the stage because it is Ginormus and there is minimal room backstage so we'll see what happens. We sold 55 t-shirts last week in Napa and they told us we could keep the additional 20% commission so Katie and I are rollin in the dough this week! WHOOOOO!
