Gilbert and Sullivan and Brecht and Beckett

Since I last wrote, I've had a few great things happened:

- Saw two of my best friends from high school get married to each other.

- Was cast in Gilbert and Sullivan's in Ruddigore as Richard Dauntless the outrageously eponymically and brash (if none too bright) sailor of Her Royal Majesty's Navy with an outrageous sense of duty (to his own heart and England) and an equally outrageous cockney accent. There are three other members of the Minneapolis Gilbert and Sullivan Very Light Opera's production of Iolanthe also in the cast! Let the Viking invasion of the Village Light Opera begin.

- In our Brecht and Beckett class, our group has presented three amazing scenes and reductions. Unlike other classes I've been in with multiple group projects, with this on going project we always work with the same group. Thus, we do not have to renegotiate the group dynamics, we know each other's collaborating styles, we know each other's personalities, and we work very well together.
