And so, a new production is among us....

NEW KENT STAGEHANDS

READING AUDITION – FALL 2009

Here I am, standing in the middle of paradise!! I can hardly believe my luck—who would have thought that little ol’ me could really be standing here in the middle of this place at this time? Is it a stroke of luck—have I been living a good, honest life and this is my reward? You decide after I tell you my story.

Like any good story, it began years ago, when I was a child. My mom would say, “work hard and all of your dreams will come true.” Of course my dad would retort—“good things only happen to those who are honest and God-fearing.” I tried to take both into account. I worked hard, led what I believed was an honest life and went to church almost every Sunday.

I graduated from high school and then went onto college. I usually went to class, except for those eight o’clock classes—nobody was ever there for those. For four years, I pondered what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Graduation came—all my friends received their degrees. Dad reminded me—“I gave you four years and no more!!!” I scoured the want ads—real estate, urban planning, teaching, mechanical analyist. There were so many choices!!! Resumes flew out of my computer via the internet to dozens of employers. Finally, one offered me a job!

So here I am, in Fairbanks, Alaska, selling sno-cones to tourists during the summer and hunting and fishing all winter long!! A paradise for someone like me—who could ask for anything more!
