Congratulations to Jill!

As a result of her first audition in Atlanta, for a PROFESSIONAL production no less, Jill has been cast as Nurse/Lt. Connie Leibowitz in M*A*S*H, at OnStage Atlanta.

The show goes up September 1 and runs Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sunday matinees for the entire month. Although we haven’t seen a script yet, the director told Jill that Leibowitz is a nice substantive role with one big scene and a good amount of additional time onstage "doing nurse stuff."

The call from the director could not have happened at a better time. Jill has been really missing her theater buds lately, especially since Leta is directing Steve LaRocque’s latest award-winning one-act play at the Silver Spring Stage’s festival, and Misty is directing something else there too.

The best part is that Jill has yet to be in a play and not develop a wonderful friendship with someone involved in the production. She’s started to make friends with theater people here, like the charming Evan, but I think she’ll be happier meeting some other actors too, and going through hazing together forging those in-show bonds.
