This and That

Hi folks!

There's not really a whole lot to share, as things are in a bit of a groove at the moment! I don't really have many new pictures since last time because we've been in central Germany which was bombed pretty badly during the war, so there aren't really any cool old buildings to take pictures of ;) But never fear, I'll find more beautiful photo-ops before then end of this tour!

My company and I have been in Duisburg for the entire month of January, and we'll be there through February 8th. After that, we'll be heading to Essen for a couple weeks. This is good news because Duisburg is a short train ride home to Essen, and when we're here I'll just have to take local transport to come home! It's been very nice to get to see Sidonie every weekend! We really miss each other when I'm on the road. We're praying that next year God will bless us with great jobs IN THE SAME CITY (preferably in the same show!)

Speaking of next year, we have auditions coming up for several different things. You can keep us in your prayers that we'll both get great offers from these auditions, and that we'll be able to get into the same show for next year! I have auditions on the 12th of February in Berlin. These are "open auditions" which means that the company is considering auditionees for all the shows they produce. This includes shows like Wicked, Sister Act, Tarzan, and many others. Sidonie is going to audition later in the month (the 24th I believe) as they are bringing the auditions to her theatre here in Essen (unfortunately, I'll be in a different city at that point!) Sidonie also has an audition earlier in the month for the lead in another show, and I'm waiting to hear about an audition for a new German translation of Into the Woods.

We're both steadily working on our German language skills, developing relationships with our colleagues and other German friends, and enjoying every moment we havetogether. One thing that being in different cities certainly teaches you is to appreciate the time you have together! We miss all of you and look forward to hearing how things are with you!

Love and Hugs!
