Our production was nominated as Best Musical - Equity for this year's Column Awards. The Column Awards are for local theatre, both Equity and non-Equity in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. Voted on by the subscribers to The Column, an e-mail theatre-related newsletter based in Dallas.

I will be performing "Heart" (along with 4 other guys) at the awards show.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I didn't know you were a union guy. That seems unusual for community theater in Texas. Are you being paid Equity rates?

That's great! Congrats.

Woo hoo!!

Congrats, Cal!

I'm not a member of Actor's Equity. None of the theatres in Dallas are exclusively union. Most of them have between 1-5 Equity contracts in a show. The theatre where I have done most of my shows is a community theatre. We are not an Equity house.

Our production of Damn Yankees had 2 Equity members in the cast.

Tonight's the night.

We perform "Heart" in front of most of the Dallas area theatre community. For most of them, this will be the first time they have seen me on stage.

I have this fantasy of some Director seeing me up there and thinking, "Gee, that overweight dude sings pretty well, and he would be perfect for the part of X in my next show. I'll have to talk to him later and find out how to get in touch with him."

Have fun!

Nonononono, Cal, you must be SPECIFIC in your dreams. The director isn't saying "he'd be great as 'X' in 'my new show'," he'd be saying, "That Cal guy would be amazing as Prof. Henry Higgins in my upcoming Broadway revival of 'My Fair Lady'!"

THEN it will come true. You may, of course, substitute your own personal favorite role/show; Higgins and MFL are only for illustrative purposes only. Just don't go overboard. I don't think you can handle Cassie in "Chorus Line," for instance, but be brave and bold (like maybe Sheila; I think your version of "At the Ballet" would kick ass!).

Break a leg tonight!

Congratulations Cal. That is great. Have a great time performing.

Break a leg, Cal.

Just got home.

Fun night.

Performance went fine.

I am tired.

Did Damn Yankees win Best Musical?

I'm hoping that was part of "Fun night."

No, we didn't win. The Who's Tommy by Dallas Theatre Center won. It was a strong group of shows in our category.

Sorry about that, but I'm glad the performance went well and you had fun.

Good luck on the other things going on in your life!

I did win a Fossil Messenger bag in the raffle.

It's sort of like these, but not exactly like either:
