My First Blog!
OK, I'm a little intimidated starting my first blog, but my sister has slowly peer pressured me into it. It will start out slowly, and I'll probably retroactively put up some info about what's been happening (in Asia) since we were without internet for so long. Please be forgiving, as most of the time when I'm writing I'll be in the middle of a show, and probably listening for my cues. No matter what, if you're bored stop reading, and don't tell me my blog is lame. I already know it will be. Here I go!
For those of you that don't know, I am currently on tour throughout Asia. In May of 2004 I left New York to travel as the Mother Abbess in Troika Entertainment's production of 'The Sound of Music'. We rehearsed and spend quite a while in Shanghai, China, before taking a brief break in August. After that we headed to Beijing, Shenyang, and Ningbo (all cities in China). We ended our leg of the tour with a month in Taipei, Taiwan. We had a fabulously long break for the holidays, and then headed out on the 2nd of this year. Our first stop was Tokyo, where we spent almost a month. Since then we've also played Nagoya and Osaka, Japan. As I write this I am in Seoul, Korea... so far the best place for internet, but the coldest. We are scheduled to play next in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and then Singapore, before heading back to the USA in May. One year in Asia - can you believe it?
Who would have thought that little Betsy Kirkpatrick from Cincinnati, Ohio would ever be touring the Orient? Not me, that's for sure. So of course, life is full of the same surprises as in America... fun times, spilled food, and lots of music. Luckily for your entertainment, we also have Asia to keep us buzzing. I hope you enjoy hearing about my adventures!
