Another Milestone

Hello all,

Another milestone had past for me, to be honest two milestones have past!

1) for the 2014 season, we have offically done 50 shows!! That is incredible to think that we have put on this show 50 times!! What happened with this summer?? I know it has been flying by for me. How about you? 

50 shows means that I have died 50 times, been knocked out by Raybud 50 times, have fallen 50 times, and so much more! I wonder how many miles this has been??

The next milestone:

2) I personally have completed 125 shows of Tecumseh! 73 as Leasning Tree, 1 as Frog Hunter, 51 as Kothee, and 1 as Barking Fox! 

Let me tell you this has been an amazing experience! To do this all in two years is incredible! Here is to the final 22 shows of the 2014 season!! 

Now I leave you with this:

You maybe asking what is up with your knee? You will find out soon enough!;)

Tecumseh! 2014

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen,


As I am doing my laundry one more time at Lindenwood University, I thought I would start my first of many updates regarding the experience and happenings at Tecumseh! this summer! If you followed last summer, you know the routine!

Last summer I played the character 'Leaning Tree' and this summer I will be having a completely different experience with the role 'Kothee.' I am supper duper thrilled to be able to join this cast again this summer and to be able to have this experience again.

One main difference, that I already know of, I will be in the scene of the Gauntlet (if you don't know what I am talking about, don't fear I will keep you posted!). This gauntlet happens after the 1.1 battle, last year I was not apart of that due to the character I was playing! That is exciting just in itself! There are also many difference that will shape up from last summer to this summer! I can't wait to explore them all!

With one more week to prepare for this madness again (we only have 2 weeks of rehearsal, about), I start to think how will this season compare? I am looking forward to be able to meet all of the new cast and crew members this year and also see all of the returnees. This is always one of my favorite parts of theater: meeting new people, making lasting relationships, and hearing their story!

On top of this last week left, not only do I have Kothee's lines to continue to work on, I also have understudy lines! I am thrilled to be able to find out who I am understudying way in advance, it helps a lot! Then to throw a little more spice to the fire, it is FINALS WEEK!! I don't have extreme finals, but I do have a few things that I need to spend time on! THEN I have to pack everything up and move out of my dorm!:D

Many things will come into play: horse, stage combat, long days, loads of makeup, and it all just adds to this wonderful experience!

It will be another incredible summer filled with amazing memories and experiences!! I am thrilled to be able to bring you them to you and I hope that you will enjoy the excitement as much as I will be.

If you happen to have an Instagram I will be using #tecumseh2014 throughout the summer. I may SHOCK the world and get a twitter! Also keep in touch through Facebook! Ask me questions and I will be more then happy to answer them.

Look out for a few postings regarding Coasting for Kids, Lindenwood Wrap up, and also the next Tecumseh! post!

Full run!

Hello all! 

Today, just a few minutes ago we finished our first full run of the show! Lets just say a tag line for the show should be "Body by Tecsumeh!" Lol

We finished the war dance today, 4 mins of craziness that makes for an amazing section of the show. Yes it gets very tiring. 

My 1.2 (Leaning Tree Scene) went good tonight, still had some messy areas.oh well, this is why it is not opening night yet!:) I was very happy when Stevyn personally came to me and complimented my scene! This made my night! 

Tomorrow we start work on the high falls! I have a few days to learn to fall 25 feet, it is not that bad:) 

I was happy today to get on bob and trot a lot! He is a very good horse to learn your seat! I want to canter this horse so bad! 

I close you out with a beautiful fire photo that we had last night! Btw if you want to try something, try a peanut butter cup s'more! They are amazing.

I have not been able to take a lot of photos yet but once rehearsal is over j should be able to take more!

Take care all and love you all,

Daniel Sukup
