We have one more dress rehearsal tomorrow night. Tonight was the first night I really felt comfortable in my role. I had flashes of comfort in the past week or so, but tonight felt good. Few things that I would like to improve on, but that is a never ending quest.
I haven’t written much about this show, partly because of how I was feeling about my character. Another point was an actor dropped out. The sickness and then death of someone close to him prevented him from doing the play. That situation did not help the feelings I was having.
Our director stepped in to take the role and had the part memorized in under a week. That made me feel bad, since I had my role for a month before that and I was still trying to get the lines down. It took me some time, but I eventually got there.
The of course there were the problems of getting the entire cast there on time and on the same day. That is three plays (that I have been involved with) in a row. What is happening. I remember more than one show that it was odd for a person to miss a rehearsal. Hmm.
Anyway, today’s show fell together nicely. We lost a cast member or two because of their work schedules, but we were able to work around that. Tonight was funny and in some parts very touching.
So to put it in a very few words: We have a show. 😀
Excellent. Glad to hear that with all the off stage drama, everything is coming together. That is the thing about community theatre… scheduling doesn’t always work out but wonderful when it does.
That’s great; glad to hear it! Hoping to come see it!
Cool! I’d say I can’t wait to see it, but you know… 😀
That’s great! There is always at least one or two shows in a season that make you want to tear your hair out! I remember I did “Into The Woods” and we called it “Into The Woods… And Out With A Headache!”
