We're so excited! We have a summer home about 2 miles from Surflight and can't wait to go see all the shows this year! It's been my daughter's dream to work there since she was about 5 years old...

Lynn, I love it when dreams are realized! That is just so wonderful. You know, your D is doing just great and is an example of pushing forward with her goals despite the initial setback the first year with college auditions. Things are now going real positive for her and I look forward to watching her career take off. I didn't realize you had a home on Long Beach Island. I used to go down there to the beach with friends when I was in high school. I haven't been to Surflight but I know it is a good summer theater. Very happy for your D's good news.

After recieving a couple of offers from theatres I have decided that I am going to stay home and make money. This way I can focus on my weakest area, Dance. For anyone who knows the Chicago area, I'm going to Lou Conte Dance and just taking their classes this summer. Good luck to everyone who is working, I'm not lying when I say I'm a little bit jealous

I got an offer from Galveston/Gransbury and will have two friends working there this summer. Although I wasn't crazy about the season of shows, I really liked the company. They seemed very dedicated to getting their performers into the professional work force by having them meet with casting directors and agents. It's also not a bad location. Performers are housed in apartments in Galveston and get to use the gym and pool of the incredible San Luis Resort. I also think that the schedule isn't as hellish as some other stocks can be, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what your daughter is trying to get out of the summer. Where else did she get offers from?

Gluemom,
I live near Granbury and have seen shows there in the past; however, this is completely new management. The theater is very small and in the historic Opera House. There is another theater there that does a terrific Branson-style music revue, but they are moving to Fredericksburg. I believe April is their last month in Granbury. The Opera House is on the courthouse square which is full of antique stores, etc, and there is a large lake just blocks away. They bus in old people for day outings. The Opera House was closed for a while between management, and I just discovered that they had reopened. My D is hoping to audition there, but they have not responded to her emails.

gluemom - I'd like to write you but you don't have PM or e-mail activated. I much prefer e-mail, if you could send me an e-mail from the drop-down menu. Thanks!

My D will be doing Fiddler at Muhlenberg's Summer Musical Theatre this summer. She's a little sad to be gone from home over the summer, but happy to have a paid acting gig.

Do you mean that the theater is moving to Fredericksburg Va? Just curious because I live there. Thanks for the information.
