Rehearsals Begin for Lone Star Lyric's On the Twentieth Century

For the next month, I will be in rehearsals for On the Twentieth Century, a musical by the writers of Singin in the Rain as well as other successful musicals.  Needless to say, it is good.

The plot revolves around Lily Garland, a young Hollywood actress who finds herself getting involved with her former director/lover, Oscar Jaffee, who needs Lily to star in his play so he can get out of bankruptcy.  Several others characters get involved (can't say how - reveals too much of the plot), and hilarity ensues.  My character, Bruce Granit, is a very vain Hollywood actor who often plays opposite Lily in her movies.  Think Cary Grant, except much less lovable.

I'll be blogging about the professional rehearsal schedule for a while, giving you a little insight on how a production comes together.  This is going to be a GREAT show.  I was so impressed with the quality of actors involved, the director.  We will even have a nice chamber orchestra for the event.  Go to the website,www.lonestarlyric.org, to buy your tickets online.  They will sell out!
