Scotland, Theatre, and Other News!

So, my lovelies, I have been absent for a while.  But a lot has been happening.

First of all, The Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland: the biggest fine arts festival in the world.  Hardin-Simmons University Theatre Department (my school) is taking a play to perform in August, entitled "The Shadow Box".  Beautiful, beautiful show.  And I am honored to say I have been cast.

So, Scotland.  This is a chance in a lifetime to go to one of the places I have longed to visit, and perform theatre, nonetheless!

However.  Funds are pretty low, and cost is pretty high.  There is a neat little gadget on the sidebar that will allow people to donate to my GoFundMe.  If you don't want to donate [that's totally fine] consider telling other people, or people who have a love of theatre and/or travel.  Every dollar helps.  Sharing helps get the word out.


Here is the link straight to the webpage for my GoFundMe:

Also, I'm on the HSU Webpage [shown below] where you can also donate if you would rather: http://fund.hsutx.edu/site/TR/Events/General/705957980?pg=team&fr_id=1231&team_id=1354

...If I could just get out of this place

So, because this editor has nothing better to do than dream of faraway places, I am going to bombard you with pictures of Scotland.  I will travel there, one day...someday...sometime in the future.  And write a novel about my very long trip around the world visiting foreign countries and soaking up culture.  I can call it Around the World in More Than Eighty Days.  

On second thought, I think that would be a bit too original for some publishers.  

Anyway, hiking along the green braes and glens of Scotland, I swear I could churn out a story worth of Tolkien--given all the inspiration I need and some time.  And what better place to get inspiration than sitting on a heather-covered brae with a slightly overcast sky and a stiff breeze coming off the ocean?

Ah, sigh...
