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.

The show MUST GO ON!

The most difficult and frustrating week of my life came to a close today after two very interesting shows...It was wierd because during the 1st show, kids were breaking out of their characters and poking each other and monkeys were taking off their ears and one little 7 ywear old kept saying "They hate us, they hate us!" during the performance! After the first the show Katie and I were pretty down in the dumps because of what happened but then it hit us....These kids had no idea how to behave in front of an audience! That kid had heard the audience laughing and thought they were making fun of him! We had forgotten that this was the first time this town had ever brought in our company and when we got back for the second show we told the kids how to behave in front of an audience and the second show was worlds better.
