Greetings all, my name is Ryan Burns. I am currently a Junior, majoring in Philosophy, I am also one of the leaders of the underground Improvisational group on campus, fyi. In the Baltimore Waltz, I will be playing as the Little Dutch Boy at Age 50, the Radical Student Activist, as well as the Concierge. This production should be an exciting and wonderful experience, I look forward to working with Janeve West and the rest of the crew, good people. I hope you enjoyed this first of many blogs to come, stay tuned next week when I discuss the issues of fiscal solvency in economically viable households.

Hello everyone, it's Ryan once again. Oh my goodness, there is so much being done to prepare for the production. For example, we are learning new languages, practicing foreign accents, and trying really hard not to giggle after saying dirty words. We are all doing our best and this is going to be the greatest production to grace this college, ever. Also, we have been doing some source-work for the play, such as finding pictures, songs, poems etc. that we can tie into the themes of the play. The cast brought in some very interesting things(which can be seen outside the Wit in the Basement of HT), all of which sparked interesting thoughts on the message of the production.
I hope that we continue this trend of rocking and rolling until the end of time. Stay tuned next week when I discuss and solve the problem of evil in three words, or less!

Hello once again, "ya'll," I hope I didn't keep you on the edge of your seat for so long waiting for this blog. Alot has happened since last time. To start, we have been progressing very well on this production. Everyone's accents and performances have been amazing, and getting better! This is going to be a show not soon forgotten, so go see it. Unfortunately, we lost a dear member of this production, which I find suspicious (considering the position of Jupiter and Saturn with the Egyptian pyramids...). Regardless, the show must go on! Our newest member is a great guy, good actor, and we will do anything we can to help him with this production, and since there is such a short time, the pressure is unthinkable. But, it will be fun, and that's all that matters.

I have returned once again to bring to you the latest in "BW" news. To start, our accents are coming along super well, and we have been getting the memorization head on. We have got alot going on, and its going to start getting exciting, what with tech week just around the corner and what-not. Also, the cast is doing fantastic, we are going to rock, and maybe even perhaps roll. The source work is going quite well, although I am still looking for the story of the Little Dutch Boy, and you should all check out the super-fantastic-great-wall-of-The Waltz outside of the Wit, it's filled with great pictures and information and poems and everything. Anyway, I hope you all are getting along well with the show not being for another week or so, but you must be strong, it will be here soon enough. Until next time, -Ryan Burns.

Well, the show is over now. I am really distraught because now I have nothing to worry about (except for the tons of homework I have been putting off). I miss hanging out with the cast and committing random acts of shenanigans. L L The shows, though, went great! My goal for every night was to make everyone soil themselves, and I got really close a few times. This was a wonderful and unique experience, one I wouldn’t trade for the world, but it had to end. Speaking of ending, I think this may be my last production, ever. I don’t think I can handle that stress again. On a happier note, no one in the cast or crew contracted ATD, which is a great thing.
So, to conclude, I would just like to thank everyone for being so great, keep it up! Also, I would like to dedicate my work to Mark, we all miss you.
Oh, and Janeve West is a brilliant, wonderful person.
Peace, love, and serenity now!
