Cirque du Circus

You guys!! I ran off and joined the circus, literally. So I found out when I got to the ship that I was switched to the other theater on board. I was a little bummed to find out that I won't be working with Blue Man Group, but when I found out what I am going to be working on, I realized how cool it is going to be. So the show is called Cirque Dreams & Dinner and it is sort of like Cirque du Soleil but on a smaller scale. There are a bunch of Russians that are part of the cast and can do some amazing things. We Stared rehearsals two days ago and have gotten about 40 minutes into the show and so far there is a tight rope walker, plate spinners, juggling, people flying, a hula hooper that uses 7-25 hoops on her arms legs, body, and much more. There are a few American actors that serve as sort of the MC's for the show and to move through the plot of the show. It is in a theatre where the guests are served dinner as well so the wait staff is incorporated into the show during certain parts. My role in this crazy show is to be in charge of the props and sort of an ASM at times. I think the experience I am going to get form working on this show is going to be amazing and is going it is going to look incredible on my resume. I am on good terms with the trainer for the show and he caught be stretching backstage yesterday and asked if i could touch me toes. If I'm not careful I may end up flying on the trapeze before my contract is up.
