2,000 kids, 34 towns, 1 show --------- MY NATIONAL TOUR: Show #4 (KENT, WA)

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.

Show #4 (KENT, WA)

Both of our shows went great and as I was selling T-shirts after the show, the parents stormed the stage, tore down the set and packed our car so by the time I was done selling shirts, there was nothing to be done! There was one mother in particular who is a lumber jack and carried the insanely heavy led poles BY HERSELF...It was truly something to behold and I thanked God that I had casted her child.
The after party was a Dairy Queen and the entire city of Kent was there and applauded as Katie and I walked in. The funny part is the fact that some of our leads told us that they will be coming to the next town to audition again...Uhhhh I think they were serious.
