I've been doing a show at the Applause Dinner Theatre. Rehearsals were hell, but the show is a blast (minus the serving and scraping plates).
I've been working hard (or hardly working) at school. Next semester is shaping up to be a lot better than this one... as in I've got 4 days off a week.
Feeling crappy because the show means that I have to miss lots of events (my boyfriend's comedy shows, Caught in the Act, everything) and I've only got two days off a week to repair and spend with Dan. It's a really stressful time for both of us, and it's really taking a toll. What I want for Christmas is for us to both stop being so buttheadish.
Tonight shall be fun... well last night was fun as well, I started right off a midnight.
I'm a happy girl. I get to spend my birthday with people I adore and who care for me. This is all set to be the best year yet, and I've had some pretty damn good years!
I got an understudy role in the musical that I was just dying to make! I'm understudying the role of Suzy Q in River Street (A musical that was written for my city).
Here is the character description...
Suzy Q--------- An enigmatic vaudeville performer/whore. She rarely lets anyone get too close to her.
It's an ensemble piece, but she is the "love interest". So that means... first kissing scene(s) in a play EVER. I'm terrified/excited. The guy who is the one in question reminds me of the creepy guy from my acting class, though. He is also married to another woman in the cast. Not to mention he is at least 15 years older than me. I think I'll get by. I hope I'll get to perform at least once!
Best part is... I get paid. I heard that it's a $300 honorarium. It's something at least! $300 more than I'll be making by doing The Wizard of Oz!
