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.

Shere Kahn, Shere Kahn!

No matter how bad a week may seem, there is always at least one kid who makes it all worth while. This week it was our Shere Kahn (the scary tiger). We have never cast a girl Shere Kahn before but there was a girl who was so perfect for the role that we couldn't resist...and she didn't disappoint.
Every single day this girl would bring in something that reminded every one else in the cast that she was indeed a terrifying tiger; Tuesday it was a Cincinnati Bengals Hat, Wednesday it was fuzzy black tiger ears and not only that but every time a character said "Shere Kahn" during the rehearsals she would flex her muscles back stage in a state of sheer bliss. If only we could take her every where!
