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.

Pearl Harbor

After rehearsal we went with a bunch of our show kids to one of the biggest flea markets in the U.S. which completely surrounds the University of Hawaii football stadium.
Apparently our friend Brett, who plays King Backwards this week thought he wasn't gonna be dressed up by the older kids...ha ha.
I'm pretty like a peacock.
That very spot is where the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and sunk the USS Arizona
And THAT my friends is the car that our company rented for us....I mean I knew there was LOADS of money in Children's Theatre but ohhhh mama.....

Tomorrow the kids of Hawaii are taking me surfing for my first time in Waikiki!!!!
Pics to come!

Day #2

I got some video footage for everyone today! We went snorkeling down in North Shore and saw the most amazing tropical fish and Sea Turtles!!! Later we went to Suicide Rock and I found 2 locals who were crazy enough to do flips off the top with me. I am the one on the end doing the back-flip off the 30 ft rock face....Don't worry Mother I am still alive.








Careful ladies he's takin......o.k. not really I've just always wanted to use that expression.

Snow White in Hawaii...DAY 1

We arrived in Oahu, Hawaii Sunday night carrying no less than 11 giant duffel bags and 4 large boxes. When the lady at ticketing counter in San Fran. saw the bags she told us that there was simply no way we could take them all on the plane...but 2 difficult hours and $650 extra dollars later she was singin a different tune.
We almost lost a costume bag after it got sucked into the belt at the Hawaii airport but our friendly Hawaiian airport men cut it away after a good 15 minute struggle...Although it would have been funny if the bag had ripped open and 7 dwarf beards spilled out all over the conveyor..
Yea we had a lot of luggage but my friend Oba'knu Ukeleled away my sorrows...
Immediately following our 141 kid audition (A new Hawaii record!!!) Shirnest and I headed for North Shore for a day of luscious beaching...The kids of Los Banos bought and decorated a beach chair for me complete with name and picture of me wearing a Snow White dress...

I plan on doing some pics and a stoty every night this week so tune in for tomorrow nights installment!
Mahalo!
