Cowgirl: Gideon vs the Gods of Cool

Hi all! This is Cowgirl! 

I'm not really a little girl anymore, so I thought I was old enough to hijack my mom's blog and write a post all by myself [cue Pull-ups commercial: "I'm a big kid now"].

I just wanted to share a bit of what is going on in my life right now and who I have grown up to become.

I am in school right now trying to figure out what to do/study, but when I'm not doing that I take every opportunity to do the things I find most fun in: I am a passionate singer, artist, and actress.

Right now, my most recent project is a musical at the Angelus Theatre in Spanish Fork: Gideon vs the Gods of Cool. (Interesting title, right?) It was written and directed (and even stars) local author, Stephen Gashler. This story is full of fun and features a myriad of characters!

There is a nerd who becomes our unlikely hero as he discovers the true identity of his teachers and has to navigate this, as well as his relationships between his classmates, nerds and jocks alike. 

My character, Cynthia, is a cheerleader that Gideon is secretly in love with (because we all know that is often the extent of high school romance). Of course, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum and his chance to be with her is slim, but as featured in this image, extenuating circumstances bring them together for a late night chat. To find out more of what happens in this fun, energetic 80's rock opera, I would encourage you to come to the show! 

Our remaining performances span from now until Saturday, June 24th. 

Come out and see me perform! I would really appreciate your support!

Come before closing night! We won't be here forever - and not everyone will fit on closing night. I hope to see you all there!
