Howdy y'all. I'm writing to you from Dallas, TX. Actually, I'm in Irving, TX, but we'll be playing Dallas this weekend. I have an update to my previous post.
I will no longer be working with Spirit Productions. I was recently contacted by another previous employer, Stiletto Entertainment, Stiletto for short. Stiletto casts and produces all production shows aboard the ships of Holland America Cruise Lines. I have had the privilege of working aboard 3 of their ships and am about to board my 4th, possibly 5th.
In November, I will begin rehearsing for the World Cruise. This is a highly coveted contract and I feel very honored to be asked to do it. Some ports of call include:
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US; Georgetown, Cayman Islands; Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Enter Panama Canal Cristobal; Exit Panama Canal Balboa; Manta, Ecuador; Callao (Lima), Peru; Easter Island, Chile; Papeete, French Polynesia; Bora Bora, French Polynesia; Rarotonga, Cook Islands; Alofi, Niue NUALF; Cross International Dateline; Nuku' Alofa, Tonga; Auckland, New Zealand; Tauranga (Rotorua) New Zealand; Napier, New Zealand; Wellington, New Zealand; Christchurch (Lyttelton) NZ; Dunedin (Port Chalmers) NZ; Oban (Halfmoon Bay), New Zealand; Fiordland Natl Park Eastbound; Hobart, Australia; Port Arthur, Australia; Sydney, Australia; Cairns, Australia; Madang, Papua New Guinea; Crossing the Equator; Koror, Palau; Manila, Philippines; Hong Kong, China; Phu My, Vietnam; Singapore; Cochin, India; Mumbai (Bombay), India; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Muscat, Oman; Safaga, Egypt; Sharm el Sheik, Egypt; Aqaba (for Petra), Jordan; Enter Suez Canal at Suez; Exit Suez Canal at Port Said; Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Naples, Italy; Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy; Cartagena, Spain; Cadiz (Seville), Spain; Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
One could see how this is an opportunity not to pass on. I will board the ship after two months of rehearsal in Inglewood, CA, near Los Angeles. I'm very excited to be in SoCal again so that I will get to reunite with so many wonderful people from my days with The Young Americans. I have a feeling that all of my days "off" will be full of merriment and memories.
I will keep you up to date on any further developments to this exciting turn of events as well as messages from rehearsal.
As for now, I have to get to the Nokia Theatre in Dallas for my last 6 shows with "Storytime Live" before a much needed trip home to NYC, where my roommate and I will be looking for a new apartment in Brooklyn!
Take care of yourselves and practice love to everyone you meet...you never know what they may be going through.
Until next time,
Joey
