30 November
Am I dreaming, or have I actually updated every day this week without getting even a day behind even once? How can this be? I guess I'm getting girded up for HoliDailies...
And yes, I know I have those three entries earlier in the month to do, but I'll do them, I really will. No, I really will!
Rehearsal last night.
It has occurred to me that this was only my third rehearsal and we open in a week! It doesn't bother me, particularly, but I think that Laura is getting a trifle tense. Or was before the rehearsal, which went well, though I am not actually off book.
I started out so surface in this role, all twitching and things, and she took away my tics last night, saying kindly that maybe I could put them back when I was off book, but for now they were distracting her, and because I hadn't worked on anything else, I just automatically fell real deep, and she was startled, but pleased.
It's a comedy, but if I'm playing a homeless women on a cold night begging to stay inside, if you don't do that real, there's nothing there.
In fact, about halfway through the rehearsal, Laura told Gemma to start heading into reality, like me, because basically, we were in two different plays at that point. But I can't play it at her level, so I'm glad that Laura didn't try to make me move closer to her style.
I like Gemma, and I think that she is good in the role, especially during her quiet moment, but I so wish that Diane was alive and I was doing the show with her, as she just owned the role, and I keep seeing in my head how she would have played it.
Cop Boy is doing a really strong job, too, though I wish Omar had taken the role, because we are such friends that our connection on stage would have really worked for the show, but I'm starting to connect to Brian in a way that I like and think will be interesting for the audience to watch.
Laura told us to bring costume stuff on Saturday, and I broached the subject with her that I didn't want to look like Gemma, who will be all layered and everything, and she agreed, so I said, "You know homeless punk teenagers? I want to be one of those, but gotten older." I want to use my hair and my nosering and all of the gear that I still have somewhere around the house, and she said that sounded interesting and I should bring it all in Saturday.
I wonder, is it that I think it's right for the character, or because I'm too vain to look too homeless?
And I'm still collecting addresses for who wants a Christmas card! If you got one last year, only let me know if your address has changed, because once you are on the list, you cannot ever get off.
