Hello my name is Ashlee Burkhardt, I am 22 years old, a high-school graduate and I live in Arkdale, Wisconsin.
I've always wanted to get into theater...No matter if it was in the spotlight or behind the scenes...I just want my artistic skills put to use and for someone to give me a chance to show them what I can really do. I have my own transportation and I'm willing to go as far as Madison to do what needs to be done. [Madison is an hour and a half/two hour commute for me.] Anywhere further then that I would hope that the employer would be able to pay for a flight/accommodations for me as I am not in the money situation to be able to pay for such things.
I just really hope someone would be willing to take me under their wing and show me the ropes. I often attend Anime conventions, so I've gotten into prop making quite a bit. I really would like to save up some money to be able to get afford a plane ticket to see my fiance' this year on June 7th. I promise I'll work really hard and learn what I need to. I'm a responsible and respectable person as well and I'd love to meet new friends.
What I can do:
-----------
•Drawing
•Typing/writing
•Prop making
•Singing
•Minor acting
•Some dancing
•Photography
•Painting
•'Arts+Crafts'
I don't get to regularly express myself where I live, even though I am a goth and do dress as such/wear fangs and am into vampires [Anne Rice vampires, not Stephanie Myers sparkly vampires]. Anything more then that is considered 'strange/out of place' etc. around here and I really want to let my inner uh..how can I say it.."Inner Vampire" out?...Haha..Anyways!..I really hope I'll be given a chance with anyone around. I'm always willing to expand my horizon.
A wonderful year to you all!

Musical theatre accompanist - (posted 10/10/11)
Hello!
My name is Erin Crabb and I am a professional collaborative pianist who has recently moved to the Madison area. I received my piano degree from Illinois Wesleyan University in 2006 and have been working for the past six years as Music Director and Piano/Conductor at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre in Grand Lake, Colorado. While I have experience playing piano for everything from private vocal and instrumental studios to choral ensembles, my true love is musical theatre. At IWU I became the resident student accompanist for the
theatre department during my four-year studies there, which included playing for musical theatre vocal studios and studio classes, playing for our university productions, and music directing several shows in our student-run performance space. At RMRT, in addition to playing for and sometimes directing our summer and fall productions, I also play for any other caberet-style events throughout the summer, and work as Music Director of our Youth Theatre Program.
Needless to say, I have been exposed to a wide variety of musical theatre repertoire over the years, love to play for shows wherever I can, and am eager to find an outlet for that here in Madison. I would be happy to provide a resume and would love to hear back from you with any kind of suggestions in how I can get involved in playing for you as a rehearsal pianist, in productions, or in any capacity you need.
Thanks so much!
