I am having sooooooooo much fun working on the play.
Granted two weeks ago, I felt like a punching bag and that the director was probably doubting his choice in picking me. I have a good attitude. After all.. I know NOTHING about acting or being in plays and have been busy learning all the mechanics of what it takes for a good show. Do you know we have to be aware of not even hesitating a second on lines so the show doesn't drag out?
My character is a timid terrified nurse who is constantly bullied by a huge celebrity who because of an injury outside of the dinner host's house takes it over and rules the roost. His favorite verbal punching bag is me. I'm the comic relief.
My marriage gradually eroded to me always being on edge with my former spouse and jumpy.. that I was always in the wrong. Well.. I have this exit monologue where I tell the bullying lead exactly what I think of him. It's like I'm an emotional volcano that gets to blow.
And that is something I never was. I'd swallow emotions and quake. So it's GREAT to get it out. I have no hesitation at going for it.
Sooooooo.. as far a GAL goes, being in a play was something I always wanted to do but was too afraid. Sheebam.. I auditioned for a year, got the part.. and I'm so thrilled to be doing something I never thought possible ever in my life, overjoyed at a completely new experience.
