I mentioned that, believe me.

I thought you needed SAG for TV. I thought Equity was only stage?

At any rate, DA, he's fine, trust me. I was 21 when I made my move, but I only knew the one person I was staying with. If I'd had a bunch of friends here already, I really would have been set.

I look forward to buying tickets to his first Boradway show! :D

I know that. I've lived there. It's just the last baby leaving the nest, you know?

Heck, he was a National Merit Scholar and has been away from home in college and summer theatre for the past four years. He's very capable.

Just another of life's passages.

Any word on how he's doing so far?? Has he gotten settled??

Actually, potentially pretty good news.

He is settled in the place he's staying for the first six weeks.

He did his first auditions yesterday.

Urintown in the morning. Nada

West Side Story for an Eq House in Houston in the PM. CALLED BACK on Thursday.

Pretty good for his first NY day of auditioning.

Auditions for Hairspray on Thursday.

He's also going to audition in NY for "Millie" which is playing in Denver over holidays -- rehearsals would start one day after West Side Story -- if he gets cast in either.

We're pleased.

Great news!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for him!

Pretty good news today. He's been offered a job on a Holland America cruise ship for six months, with an extention to a year if he desires. It's not NY, but the cruise schedule for this ship is really good and he would get to see a lot of neat stuff.

Today and tomorrow, he's at Equity auditions in NY for a show here in Metro Denver over Christmas, and if he is cast, the cruise line will see if they can put him in the cast on a different ship with a contract that begins a month or so later.

That would be very cool, and getting cast in anything after being in the city for under a month is pretty good.

He's been called back for a number of parts, so we're encouraged.

Yay! Congrats to your son!:) :)

Good luck and Godspeed to DA's son

Yea for him! Keep us up to date.

OK. Decision time.

He's been called back twice for a show here in Colorado which is being cast in New York.

The cruise line can't put him on a later ship.

If he gets a lead here, he will have to decide on the lead here, or six months to a year's work on the ship.

Film at eleven...

When it rains, it pours! Good for him, choices are always better than endless auditions and portraying a member of the wait staff in a restaurant.

My opinion - go with the lead.

Especially since he's been having good luck with call backs at his recent auditions, it's just a matter of time before he really lands something solid. The more auditions you go on the better. He can't be auditioning if he's stuck on a ship.

Also, lets say 6 months from now he hasn't landed a solid show, he can always audition for another cruise line (they are auditioning constantly in NYC!) and get a paying gig then.

Good luck to him!
