Sondheim Squared

So. A while back I made a commitment to be in a local production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. The opening dates changed a bit since the original idea, but now we've got a firm schedule.
Cutting Edge Theatre will present it in Slidell in March 2013.
I will be playing "The Mad Woman" and various other chorus parts, since we don't have a chorus to speak of. This is the stripped-down version. (I play a lovely wood block and triangle in the 'orchestra,' since I do not have musical talent on an instrument to speak of. I play kazoo, but that instrument just doesn't go well with Sweeney.)

I also auditioned for and got cast in Slidell Little Theatre's upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods. That one opens in January 2013 and runs into February 2013. Since I will be splitting my rehearsal time for both shows, I was cast as "Cinderella's Mother," "Little Red Riding-Hood's Grandmother," and "The Giant" (in Act Two).

So. Sondheim times two. Wow. This is going to be a crazy few months, but I think it'll be worth it.

As for my rehearsal calendar? Too twee for words: All of my Sweeney Todd rehearsal dates are written in RED, and all of my Into The Woods rehearsal dates are written in GREEN.
