Elders Quorum Trifecta or Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire & You're Playing Hitler in an Opera?

Well, it finally happened; after six months of not having a calling at church (did some small "assignments" dealing mostly with music) I am now (as of Sunday) the 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum presidency. So, after being the 1st Counselor in Alaska and the President in Arizona (getting out of that calling a small consolation prize for having to be uprooted from the homeland thanks to Uncle Sam) I've now completed the trifecta. I had a brief moment of panic when they called the then current EQ Prez to be the Ward Exec. Sec. two Sunday's ago in Sacrament meeting. This lasted until the Stake was in our EQ meeting later that same day and called a new president... and then stopped. "What no counselors?" thought I. So, the worrying began anew, but admittedly to a much lesser degree as I didn't know this guy from Adam. Well, then the phone rang.... and the rest is history. (Why couldn't they just have called me to be the Primary Chorister? I love that job and have already been it in four wards.) Of course, this always comes at the perfect time, as this semester, though I am only taking 11 credits instead of 13, is much busier and demanding than the fall. (Hence the fire analogy above.) This is mostly due to opera workshop..... Speaking of opera workshop we are doing two shorter operas "Down in the Valley" by Kurt Weill in which I was double cast as Thomas Bouche (double cast meaning I'd perform the role one night and another guy would perform it the other night) but I declined it due to time constraints, so I am just doing the chorus. The other opera is "Brundibar" in which I play the title role and am basically a representation of Hitler. The opera was written in a concentration camp and originally intended for children with its animal characters, etc. The role/music is fairly easy but I do have a (spoken) monologue at the end. I even have to grow "the mustache" for the role. Of course, I won't cut it that way until the day of the performance and then immediately cut it off after the final performance (playing tuba with a mustache is annoying). So, Dad, any acting advice you wanna float my way? The performances are scheduled for the 18th and 19th of April. Hopefully, I'll get a video recording of the performance so that everyone has a chance to point and laugh at me :-)
