So the last two nights have been dedicated to walking through Miracles. We were warned that we would be “using book as little as possible.” However, it was more of a see how much we know with less than 3 weeks to go! It is so difficult to feel comfortable until we get on the stage. The VPs do not get the stage until 2 weeks prior to curtain… probably the one thing I do not enjoy with the group. However, I am really pleased with the amount of memorizing I have been able to do thus far. I surprised myself. Still some work to be done there but I was pleased.
Many of the dramatic beats are coming along nicely as well. Even I can’t believe where they are at this point! Imagine where they will be in a few weeks. I’m really going to surprise a lot of people… myself included. I got a gold star Monday night and heard some “WOW”s from the director tonight. Even a “Well done, Mr. Shaf.”
I must say that this is my most emotionally draining stage experience to date. I will definitely be ready for a lighter show very soon. But I am lovin’ the challenge of the drama. I wonder if the countdown widget is back! Time to add one.
Too bad you’ve got this play going on. I may be able to get tickets to the Tigers/Yanks series next week. However, Well done, Mr. Shaf….
Tempting… BUT… sometimes even the Yanks must take a back seat. Would be cool though. I remember going to the old Tiger Stadium in the 80s to watch a game.
Congrats!
But already considering the next show?!? Aie-yi-yi!! 😉
Now, taylhis surely you know by now I have to do more than one show. But I will have a little more than a month before the next audition. 😉
I don’t know when you will be performing this, but I will be over there Memorial weekend!
Sorry D, you will miss it by one weekend 🙁
Oh well, another time then- but I’m sure I will see you in the everyday role you play. 🙂
