And finally, here in the midst of "posting day," a brief post in line with what this whole blog was supposed to be about in the first place.
So, Ian W. Hill's Hamlet proceeds apace. Tomorrow and Monday evening I have four hours set up (on each day) to meet with and read people for various roles. I have 15 actors scheduled, and am waiting to hear back from another 2 if they can make it, and I have to make separate arrangements with one person who definitely can't make it.
These are all people I've worked with before (except for one) and I could cast the play four or five different excellent ways with them. I'm lucky.
I need to work on myself and my performance some more now. I'm going to start experimenting with hair colors as soon as I can, but I have to borrow a digital camera from someone so I can share with you the various stages I go through there.
I have also started the "Hamlet Exercise Regimen" on top of the dieting I've been doing for a few months. Now, every day, an hour of Dance Dance Revolution, ten minutes of situps, and as many pushups and deep knee bends as I can do. Can I lose, oh say, 60 pounds by the time we open in June? Probably, and I'm sure as hell going to try (well, I'm trying for 80, but that's . . . unlikely).
Currently cast: Hamlet (me), Horatio (Rasheed Hinds), Polonius (Bryan Enk), Rosencrantz (Daniel McKleinfeld), Guildenstern (Edward Einhorn). 13 more needed. Looking good.
Now to add in the memorization regimen every day . . . I'd love to be off-book before the first rehearsal. I should be. I'll try.

I guess sweats and Shakes go together?
