Time is flying here in Portland and I figured it’s time for an update! I have so many big projects coming up this year and I wanted to share them all with you!!!!
Hogwarts Choir
I’m going to be a judge for the first round of selections for this virtual choir made up of Hogwarts Students! You have until February 18 to audition, and it’s going to be amazing so I’d love to hear voices!
Mischief Managed: The Musical
I’m acting as a mentor and helping out with orchestration, composing, and producing this new fan-made musical which will be premiered at Ascendio this summer. In this marauder-era musical, Harry’s children find journals written by their grandparents and friends, and explore their ancestors’ pasts. The Kickstarter for this musical is only up until February 7th, and every dollar counts! (P.S. I also play Regulus Black in the musical!)
The Untold Tale of Beedle The Bard
This is my new project that I’m working on with Rachel Keeler (Lily Potter in The Final Battle) to be premiered at Ascendio! The show follows the previously unknown biography of Beedle the Bard; a wizard, story teller and book seller living in Yorkshire, England in the 15th century. The story follows Beedle as he grows from a sullen boy (The Wizard and the Hopping Pot) to a love sick apprentice (The Fountain of Fair Fortune), a grieving husband (The Warlockâs Hairy Heart), a concerned Father (Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump) and finally, to the keeper of the great Wizarding tales (The Tale of Three Brothers). The show is performed in the round and will include an onstage orchestra and seven cast members playing multiple roles.
New Butterbeer Experience Album!!!!!
I know I’m supposed to be retired, but I got asked to perform this summer and I really couldn’t say no. Then I realized that I couldn’t play at a big convention without a new CD to sell… so there we go! Announcing my new CD: ……… I don’t have a title yet. Actually I’m debating between two titles, both of which depend on the concept I go for with the album. Anyways, the tentative titles are “Your Mom is a Horcrux” and “Drinks on Me.” But it’ll happen
These are only a few of the projects that I’m involved in, more details will come later! I’m so excited for 2012!!!!!
Love Will Prevail,
Lena
