Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

Last night was the final night of my show. It was the weakest night of the three, but I think it still went well. Today, the cast and crew met for brunch at a nice little cafe in Ann Arbor called Cafe Marie. It’s exactly the kind of menu and setup I’d love to have if I had a cafe of my own. I’m a little sad knowing I probably won’t see most of these women again. One of them is settting up a girl’s night out thing on Friday though, so I’m hoping that works out.
I was thinking about the different monologues last night, and I realized that my piece is one of my favorite funny ones. You may remember there were two other parts I had hoped to get. Mine is really the next best thing to having one of those two pieces. I was never really unhappy about it, but knowing it was my third favorite overall makes me feel even better about it. I also learned at brunch today that had Rita not gotten my favorite monologue, it would have gone to me. Considering I’m the one person on the cast who has no close ties to the theatre and communications department, that makes me feel pretty good. Don’t worry, I’m not getting a big head about this whole thing just yet.
I went to another audition on Friday before the show. Yeah, it looks like I’m hooked on this acting thing again. The audition was for a student film intended to be submitted to some film festival. I don’t really know all the details yet. I’ve never done a film before, so I’m pretty excited about this change of pace. I was told that acting for the stage and acting for film are very different. I guess it makes perfect sense when I think about it. Anyway, I got the part. I don’t have much to share about it yet, but I’ll let you know the details as I get them myself.
I forgot to mention that I’ve switched back to Blogger for my commenting. Unfortunately, that means my old comments aren’t going to show up anymore. Sorry!
I made the switch to this new Blogger system too. So much better than their old system.
Glad to hear you’ve got another part lined up already. This acting lark certainly is addictive, isn’t it? I’m off to the 10+ hour technical rehearsal of ‘Me and My Girl’ soon. It’s gonna be a long day…
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
