Stuart Little Tour week 1






On a cold Wednesday morning before the sun came up five brave ( or dumb) actors woke up and took all of their belongings and climbed in a gutted out 16 paasenger van headed out for a little thing called tour.

"Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. (I heard that in a movie once)"
-Stuart Little

So it has begun. We have been to Holly Ridge North Carolina ( 2 shows at Holly Ridge Elementary) then immediately drove 3 ish hours to Spindale , North Carolina.

We performed the twice next day at Isothermal Community College. We were treated like mini celebs here ( which is hilarious bc tour life is the antithesis of glamour. ) I love when we get to go to venues bc we get to meet the people who are bringing us to there venue ( plus there is usually free coffee and bagels and a crew to help us load in!) The guys who helped us load in were hilarious! We felt very appreciated at this stop by these guys then next we stopped at Denny's. I mean LITERAL STAR TREATMENT! we got major discounts on food. Gift card for another free meal, free desert (which was funny bc we talk about ice cream with chocolate sauce on it in the show ) The waitress was ADORABLE and wanted our autographs and took our picture. Very VERY sweet.
After lunch we headed to Blacksburg Virginia! We knew right where we were staying because they had us advertised as staying at our hotel on their marquee. We then ran right next door to the mexican restaurant where tess and I had the best fajitas we had ever had! Fun night for the group!
We stayed the night and woke up this morning and loaded in at the Lyric Theatre ( which is a fantastic space that holds about 400ish people. We had a great show this morning ( they gave us free coffee and great vegan muffins! ) Our next show isnt until 7 tonight, so we have gotten to go back to our hotel room and nap and play all day! VICTORY! We'll stay here again tonight and head to NEW YORK! tomorrow! We drive all day tomo and then have a day off that I plan to spend the entire thing in the loving arms of Christina, Lizard, Krispi and Tex!

Looking forward to what is coming next!
