Proud step-dad, me

[The Large One]

When was that then?

Dunno. Probably just made it up.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Oh nice one you beard twat.

 

[The Large One]

... and three years on, she graduates next week.

Still proud, still delighted, and hoping she can get work in a very tough, competitive environment in the subject she specialised in - prop-making for TV and theatre.

The question everyone wants to know is...............................








How broke has she made you ? Mine has just started out and its tallying up.



Not that I`d have it any other way of course.

I'm a production sound engineer TLO. I do loads of theatre stuff, musicals mostly. So yes, I'm a bit of a 'west end wendy' on the quiet. Guildhall's well respected in the biz. Tell her to take the sound option in her 3rd(?) year if she has a choice, and she'll give herself more chance of work when she finishes her course.

Her fella - someone she picked up en route during her time there - did the sound engineering course.

I think he too might be looking for work in the near future.

Well done, Bea !

Not at all. Luckily, her grandparents could help her out massively.

I suspect that she and her young chap might be coming to live with us for a short time soon though...

That was the placement with the mega-competition that she assumed she didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting even though her work suggested the complete opposite? Nice one!

Hi Al, please pass on congrats to Bea, that's excellent news. One of the few "bounced" threads that were worthy of being bounced.

In a similar vein, thought you might be pleased to know that Katherine has landed the lead in the Brighton Theatre Group production of Hairspray.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wow, I was very rude three years ago.

Oh and congrats to her and that.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Mum's not taking any credit either, just pride. It's all down to young missy and her love and knowledge of all things theatrical.

Except possibly screaming divas and flouncing musicians.

Did someone say flouncing mu.... oh... that was three years ago sorry.....

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

My step-daughter is cock-a-hoop as the moment. It's all I can do to drag her down from the ceililng. Why? She has just been offered her first choice of university - Guildhall in London, where she is going to study Stage Management to a degree level.

Pluses
• Top university offering excellent career prospects when she has finished
• She is happy that it's not too far from home, but far enough away to be considered 'away'.
• Work placement already offered - one of the big theatres in New York City
• Me and the missus get the house to ourselves

Minuses
• Bloody expensive course - I can see a sodding great bill coming our way
• London is bloody expensive to live in
• Me and the missus get the house to ourselves

Anyway, never mind that, me and her mum are absolutely delighted for her, it's what she has wanted - no, badly yearned for - for ages, and I just thought I'd share this lovely piece of household news with you.

That is all.

oh dear zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That is SKILL.

Now you mention it, I can just picture her doing that...!

My daughter has been offered her first choice of Goldsmiths, London, a degree in drama studies. Goldsmiths comes with a good record of sending out actors etc. So we're really proud. Looking forwards we could the makings of a NSC theatre group.
