So I'm taking a break from my god-awful story. XD

And instead of continuing on with it, I'm going to talk about something that's currently a big focus of mine. I'm in the ensemble for a show in Fairport this summer called 'Bare: A Pop Opera.' It's a rock musical about two gay Catholic school boys and their secret relationship. AND it loosely follows the plot of 'Romeo and Juliet,' which is my favourite Shakespearean tragedy.

Not only that, but it describes ketamine as "powerful, powderful shit." I love it. I'll post a link to my favourite songs at the end. It also touches on a few currently pressing issues with modern youth, like obesity, teen pregnancy, and drug use. As well as intolerance. Intense, right? I swear I'm going to be in tears when performances start. I'm not that tight with the cast yet, but hopefully we'll all get closer as the shows draw near. Everyone's so talented and nice and wonderful.

It's July 29th, 30th, and 31st.

Come see it.

That's the end of my spiel.

Signing off.

P.S. Links!
