Well, I am thrilled to share with you that I auditioned for the spring 2024 original play by UAF Professor Kaveline Torres. I tried out for two parts in the play: Fat Cat (with a Scottish accent) and The Professor (who is something of a scalawag and ladies man). Hurrah, I got the Professor part after reading with the female lead Ditter Tritt whose awesome acting talent was apparent. Also in the cast is the amazing actress Flyn Ludington who lit up the stage playing the Nurse in our Summer 2023 prouction of Romeo and Juliet. The first reading is Saturday, December 9th in the Green Room at the UAF music and theater building. I was so dazzled by the stage, lighting, and facilities at UAF for performances.
Ditter Tritt: Cora Alice Jane

After the show, I grab a quick bite and run to pick up Gosia for our Saturday FDA performance of Miracle on 34th Street. If you read this column and coe to the show, come say hi in the cast greeting line after the show. Have a great Wednesday! –Hank Nuwer
