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.

Oh Boy!

Today is the first day back with my brand new show, partner and of course children and I am moderately terrified...

We are in the lovely town of Merced, CA and are expecting at least 100 kids at todays audition!
My new partner called me about a week ago and said in the sweetest voice imaginable, "Hey new partner, you know you are going to be performing the first week right?"
There was little I could say because I knew she had been touring for 3 years so I agreed knowing that I really didn't know my 5 million lines at all.

SO HERE I AM, about to audition these kids in a few hours with a show I'm not terribly familiar with (the fall tour rehersals are at 3pm) and I just found out that Friday morning we will be having a show for the enitre school...oh poo!
