I particularly love sunny Saturday mornings when it is still winter…Saturday mornings where my most taxing plans involve getting a new pair of pantyhose for tonight’s closing night of The Dixie Swim Club (I felt my toes go through last night’s pair mid-scene) and cosmo fixings for the cast party. Of course, there are TONS […]
Little bits…
The sugaring buckets are starting to appear on the sides of maple trees…does that mean the trees have given up on winter and are officially announcing spring? It is really sad when my most concentrated daily exercise comes from running up and down the front stairs of my office (we are on the second floor […]
Ahhhh…
What a wonderful Monday…LOVE the Monday after opening weekend of a show. Opening week (a/k/a tech week) is always long and hectic…rehearsals every night, introduction of lights and sound and costume changes. By the time I get to opening night, I am running on the promise of audience enjoyment, stage fright and keen anticipation. Then there are performances […]
What a difference a day makes…
Opening night for The Dixie Swim Club was okay…the audience loved it and laughed liberally…my fellow actors covered my gaffes as I helped cover theirs…it felt okay, but not great. So, yesterday, before our Saturday night performance, my oh-so-patient hus held book for me. We went over the script twice, he gave me some great […]
Opening night…
Ahhhhh…we made it through the always adventurous event known as Tech Week and are moving into Opening Night territory. This has been such a journey…the show that was SUPPOSED to open tonight was Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Unfortunately, in the first month of production, that excruciatingly painful, heavy and battering script took its toll […]
Is that really what I look like????
Ohmygosh, what a wake-up call I had yesterday. I suppose we all have a vision of ourselves and how we look to others. One of the lines in The Dixie Swim Club refers to feeling like 25 inside, but seeing the middle-aged hand picking up the martini glass…that is me to a T! In my […]
Well, that was interesting…
Last night, we had our first on-our-feet rehearsal in a week (couldn’t get our rehearsal space) and what an adventure. I really love running lines and we had some really helpful sessions in the last week, but last night? We (mostly me) suffered greatly from having to add action back into dialogue. We laughed a […]
This and that…
Tonight’s rehearsal starts with lifting and toting…we had to move all our props and set pieces into the room in the rafters so it could be locked up and safe from the “kids” who were having a dance in Upper Town Hall last Friday night. We have had not so good luck with kids in […]
Now, this is more like it…
We finally got some snow yesterday! Snow was falling lightly as I drove to work, fine ride. More snow in my hometown than in my worktown. But, instead of doing what the forecasters predicted, there was no midday break…it snowed all day, turning to a cold, snowy light rain later last night. Woke up this […]
Little bits…
Had a fun rehearsal last night…no director, just 4 of the 5 actors and our stage manager reading the 5th’s part…this has been such a fun show to do…now if I can just conquer the last couple of “lines I can never remember”… Strange, strange, strange weather lately…today is supposed to be a little snowy for our […]
