more on today’s episode of “Caitlin’s voice does weird things.”

Posted in literally me by themetaphorgirl

Leah: “Are you really tired today?”

Me: “Yeah, why?”

Leah: “I can tell. The drawl is strong.”

Me: “It is??”

Leah: “You said ‘tay-un’ instead of ‘ten.'”

About Me

I’m Caitlin, and I’m finally coming through the other side of my quarter-life crisis. I live in Florida with my spoiled little cats, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock IV and Astrid Cagney Hofferson. I had the privilege of working at the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for four years and was part of the closing team, so you might have seen me as a tour guide, Mugsi Toccata, or Kate Durango. I’m now currently a guide at Kilimanjaro Safaris. When I’m not driving around in circles pointing at four different kinds of antelopes, I’m often found performing in local theatrical productions. or spending time with my giant boyfriend. Favorite things include the smell of dryer sheets, marathons of canceled TV shows, and rainy days (as long as I’m indoors at home).

Legally Blonde ended 24 hours ago and here I am with a new show (and back in a corset) #drood #mysteryofedwindrood #florencegill

At its best, you shouldn’t notice costumes. A good costume is cohesive with the set and works with the actor’s performance; at its worst a bad costume is distracting and draws you out of the story as an audience member, and hinders the performance for an actor. I was very, very blessed to work with a great director, an amazing production team, and a brilliant cast on this show, and I think everything worked out beautifully. But sometimes you do have that showstopper piece, that big moment when a costume is critical to a character’s growth and a moment in the story, and on opening night I got to hear the audience applaud for Elle’s pink proposal dress in act one and Emmett’s makeover in act two. And I cried both times. Of course, those moments would have never worked without Amanda, Lillie, Ethan, Corrinna, and the rest of the amazing cast, but this show is one that I feel honored to have been one small part of the team. #legallyblonde #ohmigodyouguys

Ohmigod, ohmigod you guys! #legallyblonde

I never thought I could find a show that would combine my comedy skills (the Orlando Sentinel did call me “comically delightful” once), my somewhat decent knack for accents, and my love for Victorian underwear, but here we are! Catch me as Florence “Flo” Gill, the sassiest chorus girl at the Music Hall Royal...who in turn plays a demure schoolgirl named Beatrice, a citizen of Cloisterham, and...a succubus. It’s a role originated by Donna Murphy, so no pressure, right?

A year ago I woke up to like a million missed calls from Song. She found a kitten in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot, and did I want it? Well, I did. Astrid Cagney Hofferson is my dainty little lady, Shane’s Princess Buddy, and Hiccup’s best friend. She’s still teeny and she has the cutest meow and I love her. #astridthekitten #hiccupthecat (Her middle name was given to her by Song and Kali; she’s scrappy and dressed in a tuxedo)

“Free Corn Day” sounds like a bit from a Disney Channel sitcom, but it was free corn day and it was great #thelittlestsimbaone

“Because I’m a lady, that’s why.” #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

When I was five, I kept my eyes closed through my entire ride trough of the Great Movie Ride. When I was fifteen, it was the number one entry on my “I have to do this” list. Three years later, I became a Movie Rider myself. And then I was lucky enough to come home and do it all over again. I took thousands of trips under the marquee. I got to be Mugsi and Kate, blowing up banks and jumping for the jewel. I had the privilege of training dozens of amazing new Movie Riders and hopefully giving them some of my passion. I (very briefly) got to be a part of the Hurray for Hollywood team. And I got to help host the Oscars. My time at GMR wasn’t perfect, but it gave me some of the best experiences and put some of the most amazing people in my life. For a while was my number one reason to get up in the morning and keep moving forward during a very, very dark time in my life- knowing I could pour myself into my job, be surrounded by people who cared about me, and create happiness and movie magic. I know I can’t go home again, but I’ll take it with me wherever I go. Ready when you are, CB. #greatmovieride #thelittlestmugsi #thelittlestbandit #slowmovingtramfam #astheanubisdoorturns #onceamovierider

I have no idea what she’s doing but at least she’s cute. Maybe she thinks she’s an owl? #astridthekitten #hiccupthecat

It’s #internationalcatday so here’s a picture of my little old man and my babycat in a laundry basket like doofuses. #hiccupthecat #astridthekitten

The AC went out in the theater today. What a great time to be in full Victorian garb. (The muslin and cotton dress in the first two acts was fine, but the polyester mass market corset and the taffeta evening dress were the worst.) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

Today is the last performance of Charley’s Aunt. It’s been a lot of fun playing a sassy Samantha doll for the past three weeks. (And also annoying @smoochyfan23) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

This guy got to experience Trail’s End for the first time today. Also, we’re pretty cute. And his hat says “Gramps.”

Everything’s better when it involves swirling around in a ballgown (ps: come see Charley’s Aunt) (also ps: I made this dress) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun #simplicity4479

Current mood. (Charley’s Aunt opens on Friday. Yikes on 🚲🚲🚲)

I took a pilgrimage on this most blessed of days (cast member discount till the 15th!)
