An update on my life (if you care to check in that is):
Please note the week prior to a production is "affectionately" known as hell week - for all the late night rehearsals and trying to get everything together before the run.
We opened "The Miss Firecracker Contest" by Beth Henley last Friday.
So, Miss Glutton for Punishment that I am, "Lend Me A Tenor" by Ken Ludwig opens this Friday - different theater company.
Now as if that isn't bad enough, there is the Fourth of July in here somewhere and all that it entails: parade, carnival, visiting relatives & my Mother's birthday.
Not only am I sleep deprived and stressed, I am also sick and PMSing.
I think my brain hit zombie status awhile ago. I'll have to have that verified by an independent authority figure.
I am so glad I have an understanding boss.

Well, if the first play was anything to go by, everything will be great. We had such fun that I had a really hard time not laughing while performing. My character is very drunk in one scene and falls/slides off the couch and ends up sitting there befuddled while my co-actor tells me a story about midgets and cesarean births.
It was excellent, and I am told there will be photos to link to. Well, we'll see about that.
In this next production, I am on stage in a towel and then a Merry Widow and I seduce a guy on stage at the same time there is another seduction going on stage in the "next room."
Ya gotta love being able to live wild vicariously - except that I am very tired.

This all sounds too good. I always thought it would be fun to 'play drunk'. People who do it well always impress me. My all time favourite drunk scene is Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart in The Philadelphia Story. It has me laughing out loud every time.
x.g.
your first play with the drunk character sounds an awfully lot like most of the nights I've been to parties.......
