Numbers From The Road!

A current UWP cast member I know recently posted this numbers sheet from the UWP Student Handbook. I thought it was super interesting and a new way to look at my semester to come! It breaks down a cast member's week and semester into numbers. It's kind of mind-blowing when you look at it like this! 

See for yourself!

In an average week on the road, you will participate in…
12 hours of community impact
5 hours of education workshops/discussion
5 hours of regional learning
6 hours of pre- and post- show set-up and strike (lights, sounds, stage)
4 - 6 hours of show rehearsal
3 - 5 hours of show performance

In an average semester, you will...
Volunteer over 200 hours on Community Impact Projects
Perform in 25 full-length Up with People shows
Attend 140 hours of education workshops
Stay with 20 or more host families

<----- New Songs, Check Them Out!

After purchasing the new 'Voices' CD when I saw the show last Saturday, I updated the playlist available on my blog under "Listen to Up With People." It's on the left column, so check it out and take a listen to some of the songs I'll be performing show after show on my worldwide tour! =) Enjoy!

<----- LOOK OVER THERE!

Or I could make your life easier and let you just listen here! =)
{ *note* there will be like a 5 second commercial for PodSnack...just keep listening }

Voices!

Sometimes it's hard to succinctly describe what my UWP experience will be like to those who have no previous understanding of the organization. This interview, however, sums it up pretty darn well. PLUS the Vice-President/Producer talks a bit more about the brand new show that my cast will be performing! Check it out! And if you're interested, GET YOUR TICKETS to see the PREMIER of Voices! on August 11th in Denver, CO! I just learned that proceeds of the August 11th show go to the victims of the Aurora Tragedy.
