Dieu, where has the time gone? High ho the glamorous life indeed! Anyway.

This weekend only, Bandstand will be performed at L.A. Fleet Week. Two shows a day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Active and former members of the military get in for free.

I've got five to eight more weeks until the California Bar Exam results are released. If I don't receive a letter, and I'm on the website, then I passed everything. I'm side-eyeing my mailbox now, though, just in case.

[Marguerite]

Help me relieve this stress of waiting. Sibling dinner?

I've been dreaming more of the Fourth Coalition over the last few weeks. I'm afraid joining the war with the Prussians has gone about as well as I suspected it might; we have been thoroughly Routed at every Turn. Temeraire has attempted to point out some Weaknesses in our aerial tactics, though the Prussians will not listen to him on account of his Dragonhood. They even scoff when they learn that Lien, a dragon who'd sworn vengeance against Temeraire whilst we were in China is commanding the French armies, and refuse to listen when I attempt to warn them of her intelligence and cunning. With the fall of Prince Ferdinand, however, I believe the Prussians will be more willing to listen to Temeraire's Wisdom, which I can only be glad for.

Most interestingly tonight, my dream self has lain eyes on Napoleon himself for the first time. He's not at all what my Dream Self thought he would be, I think. Lien has taken him as her companion as well, which is a truly harrowing thought. The Napoleon in our own history was formidable enough; I'm afraid with Lien's Insights he may be near unstoppable.

And on this, the 231st anniversary of storming the Bastille... my stage husband reaches out to me about a tribute cabaret to Frank Wildhorn and how isn't it such a coincidence that my brother, husband, and I all share names with someone from The Scarlet Pimpernel, which of course will be on the set list?

I mean don't get me wrong, I've loved the Frank Wildhorn shows I've been in and of course agreed. But he just had to make a comment on the names. Though there is no one better to sing the role of myself, especially as I've done so twice now. And of course Percy thinks this is hilarious.

It's been awhile but I guess my dreams are back. There was some weird obsession with this necklace from one of my best friends and also the asshole older guy I was seeing. But thankfully that relationship is over and I seem to be moving on. Maybe my dreams will start getting better now.

In other news I have decided to hire an assistant for Picture Perfect Events. If anyone is interested let me know!

I haven't had any dreams for two weeks, as of tonight. I'm probably asking for trouble by posting this, but. I haven't been dreaming, and there are two people here having dreams incredibly similar to mine. One of them I've known for years, the other I just met since I started dreaming.

So I guess, my question is, is it common to have the same dreams as someone you know, and someone you don't know? I'm just trying to understand how the dreams work. The three of us have almost nothing in common in our real lives, and yet in the dreams we're all thrust into this unconventional situation where we've been sent to the ground after living in a space station our whole lives. And there's like 100 of us who were on that drop ship. So apart fro the two who died on impact, where are the others? Are there like 98 people out there having these dreams too, and we just don't know it because they're not on the network?

I'm probably thinking to much on this, but these are questions that keep me awake at night.

And it looks like I have my next two shows lined up.

LA Fleet Week (September 4th through 7th), we will be bringing back a full production of Bandstand! And then after that, it's rehearsals for the US Premiere of & Juliet, which we will be opening in November.

A bit of a longer lull between shows then I'm used to, but such is life.

[Natasha]
Which means if you need me for any spy purposes, now's the time since otherwise I'm mostly at Pimpernel Outreach.

It was too good to hope I'd had the last of these Dreams.

It happened again. Similar Dream but different about us being orphaned in pre-Revolution France. No neat stuff this time, though.

In my dreams, there's a place called Ahtohallan. It's a river of memories, but frozen. A glacier. It's where the voice that is calling to me is.

In order to get there I had to cross a storm swept sea, which meant fighting the spirit of water. A water horse that nearly drowned me. But I tamed it, and arrived in Ahtohallan and then something inside me shifted. Changed.

Inside the glacier were memories. Mine. My sister's. My family's. Somewhere in these memories is the answer to what happened to my kingdom and the forest and why the spirits are angry.

But that voice? Was my mother telling me the person I was looking for all along was me.

Well, it appears I've been adopted by an Ewok. Cute, bit skittish. But he followed me to Pimpernel Outreach and the kids seem to love him. I'm not entirely sure he understands the story that's being read for story time, but he still seems quite taken with it all the same.

When I left California ten years ago, I went as far as I could get with the thought to never look back. I started a new life in New York, and it was a good life. It's my life, you know?

I never intended to come back to California. But now that I'm here, I'm thinking about staying. Why the hell would I do that? My childhood was miserable, there's so few good memories here for me.

I came back for my mother's funeral. I didn't come back to stay. But there's something...holding me here. I can't rally explain it even though I feel it. It's like I've already forgotten my life in New York.

So, yeah. Hi. I'm Alex. And I'm staying.

Woke up this morning to find my prom dress, from the dreams, hanging on the back of my closet door. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it since it's clearly a prom dress and clearly from ten years ago. Has anyone else gotten clothes from their dreams that they just can't wear? What have you done with them?

Made it back home. If I can even call here home anymore. New York sort of became my home these past few years. But right point is I made it back to Orange County. What a time to return.

Since I can't really go anywhere social media is probably the best way for me to reconnect and meet people here.

I'm Caroline. I'm an event planner whenever that's needed again. I love shopping, the beach, getting my nails done - pretty much all things I can't do right now. So please keep me entertained :)

Now that it’s official I can announce - I’ve got another movie in the works! It’s not a sequel to my last one exactly but it is going to be in that same universe, so if you wanted to know what happened to some of the characters….this could be your chance to find out. And since it’s not a direct sequel if you haven’t seen the other one don’t worry. It’s going to stand alone.

Previews this past weekend were a success, and our official opening is tomorrow night.

Though I must say, after seeing some of the changes that have been made to the Broadway run of Six, I'm happy that we're able to keep the aspects that make Six unique. I understand Broadway and Equity issues but still. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Why couldn't I have attended a law school with a three-year program instead of a four-year program? I need a break. Just a few more months, then the bar exam. I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm almost done.

Anyone else feeling this way about school? Please tell me I'm not alone here.

[Marguerite & Percy]

Any chance we could do something this weekend that has nothing to do with law school or Pimpernel Outreach?

I was told that this place was good for networking and socializing. I intended to see about potential job connections, but there seems to be quite some talk about dreams here. Though this is the internet, I suppose oversharing and such things are to be expected.

I do love coming home to casting emails. Gold star for Cathy Parr!

It seems the only person involved that I have no knowledge of outside of our meeting at call backs is our Aragon actress, but that's part of the fun, getting to know new people. What will be interesting and new though will be seeing how the script works out as it seems there are essentially four (well five but there's no access to the Broadway revisions) main scripts for Six and we'll just read through each one in the next two days and the final script with be Frankensteined from that based on the principle cast and what fits each of us best.

Taking the unexpected nature of live theatre where anything can happen to new levels.

Double show day and a week left for Bonnie & Clyde, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of the next thing. Which has now been set.

So, the next show being done at [theatre company] will be the musical Six. Auditions will be January 4-5, call backs January 11-12, and the show will run for the month of March for International Women's Month.

Since it's the time of year to make changes I thought I'd go ahead and make one that I'd been thinking about off and on for the past year. I don't have any projects going on right now - although I do have one or two that I'm in talks for so wish me luck - so there was no reason not to just take the chance. And if I decide I don't like it? The color will fade out in a few months or I can get it dyed a different color.

A play in three acts.

Scene: Rehearsal room in October
Me: You'll want to make sure you have snow appropriate jackets for December
Jeremy: What? This is Southern California, that's ridiculous
Me: We'll see.


Scene: Backstage, day after Thanksgiving
Jeremy: So the snow in LA County, was that what you were talking about?
Me: Well, Palmdale and Lancaster were unexpected though I believe it snowed there eight years ago. But no, not what I was talking about.

Cue yesterday backstage
Jeremy: Okay, I get it.
Me: =D


Anyway, we have three weeks left of Bonnie & Clyde so if you're interested and haven't seen it yet (or wish to see it again), there are still tickets available.

As...interesting as that was, I'm certainly glad to be myself again. Especially with tech week starting today. That would have been hard to explain. Though I'm fairly certain that "Don't schedule rehearsals on or around Halloween" is in the unofficial putting on a production while in Orange County handbook at this point.

C'est la vie. Onwards to tech, then previews running the 12 through 14th with the official opening for Bonnie & Clyde the 15th and running through December 29th.

I must say, it's always rather interesting to see what Dreams end up on repeats when they aren't the ones that feel like they have a strong meaning or that could be counted as a 'major moment'. Instead it's the random interactions with people in the streets, buying an apple from Louise Audu and talk of marching on Versailles or the Bastille, going to salons put on by Sophie de Condorcet or with Olympe de Gouges or reading L'Ami du peuple and Robespierre's previous speaking out against capital punishment.

Such is life though.

A week into rehearsals for Bonnie & Clyde and I can already tell that it will be amazing, which of course it will. It's been a little over eight years since I was last in this show but it's as if it was only yesterday in that regard.

My husband is in my dreams now, I woke up ready to scream at him, but I forgot he's out on the boat.

In my dream he was such a smug bastard, but kinda charming. He annoyed me greatly and was doing it on purpose! Maybe it's a good thing he's out on the boat, it stops me from making an ass out of myself for yelling at him for something he hadn't done.

To everyone who came to either concert this weekend, thank you.

And as the concert is now done, along with the hints, I can officially say what show auditions are for next weekend. But first, the hints as filmed by my brother.

cut to spare the friends list, visible to all )

Yes, that is Jeremy Jordan who showed up. Yes we are going to be doing Bonnie & Clyde this winter. (And yes, Armand is clearly quite excited about this fact).

So again, auditions are next weekend (the 21st and 22nd) with call backs the following weekend (the 28th and 29th) at [theatre]. Then the show itself will run from mid November through the end of December.

Now that Roman and I have finally moved into our house, I never want to move again. Moving is such a fucking hassle and I've done it three times in the last two years. It's not happening again. Not only that, but I love this house. It's possibly the nicest house I've ever lived in.

Once we're completely settled in we're going to have a house warming party, which I'm very much looking forward to.

One of my favorite things about this house is how bright it is. It's perfect for selfies.

Something that never gets old when performing onstage is the reactions from the audience. Even when we begin the show by stating it's a sad song and tragedy, by the time we get to the end, there are always gasps and murmurs of 'no'. I'm fairly certain Brian has had to hand his kerchief to someone in the front row at least every other performance so far.

No wallowing. No wallowing. I'm not going to. It's not what he'd have wanted. For any of us to do. I just have to act like everything's okay right now. I just have to...act. Keep August 2nd clear if you want to see Rock of Ages on opening night at [Theater Name]! We'll be running through mid-October so if you don't get a ticket for our opening weekend you'll have plenty of time to come and see the show!

[Private to Marguerite Blakeney]

I really can't thank you enough for all of your help in putting me in touch with your choreographer friend. Working with her made it so much more comfortable for me and easier to learn the routine and the suggestions she made really improved it so I honestly can't wait until opening night to see how everybody responds to it. Mostly that creep though if I'm being completely honest.

[Private to Minako and Logan]

I already arranged for tickets to be held for both of you and Daddy they'll be waiting at the box office whichever night you want to come.

No. Absolutely not. I refuse to spend anymore time than absolutely necessary with the Rock of Ages choreographer. I signed on to play Sherrie in the show not to have someone trying to grope me while "correcting my position for the move." I get that it's easier to do it by moving me physically but if my hips aren't right - there is absolutely no reason for your hands to be on my boobs. And there is never a reason for you to be practically cupping them.

And now I'm supposed to agree to "private sessions" to get the number that Sherrie does at the club perfect? No that's not happening.
