On the good news front, on Saturday when we saw my son, there was some kind "official guy" in the audience. He scouts the Connecticut (or New England) acting programs/performances for nominees for some prestigious "Irene Ryan Competition".
Chris knew the guy was going to be there during one of the seven performances, but he didn't care: it's only open to non-professionals. Chris has acted professionally for years and is a member of all three unions SAG, AFTRA, and Actors' Equity.
Guess what? He got it!
Official letter kind of bent the rules and said that "based on Official Guy's review of (Chris') performance, voice and talent and since he is currently matriculated as a full time student and not currently working professionally, we feel comfortable in awarding, etc., etc. despite his professional background and union memberships etc.,etc...."
HA! How's THAT?!
Chris says, well, there's hundreds and hundreds of competitors and the post-graduate scholarships awarded are miniscule...." Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's friggin' ecstatic!
I'm a bit, too, can ya tell?
By the way, I thanked you for your input over on my thread. Thanking you here, too.
Happy Thanksgiving!
