I wore my hat, my glasses @ the end of my nose, my gloves, and hung my handbag over my shoulder. This was my nod to Lady Chattaway tonight. It's surprising how important getting used to costumes and props is. I wore my glasses for Prudy for a month before they really felt natural.
The two women I play in the Gossip Circle with, Kendra and Bonnie, are wonderful. We are very silly, but slightly competitive, and it is So. Much. Fun.
I still don't have my lines memorized and left my script at rehearsal. Crap. Other than that, a total pleasure, though several of the people in the scene are rushing their lines. Why does this happen so often? Slow, loud, expressive! Say it with me over and over again: Slow, loud, expressive. Ad infinitum.
I also was able to get a teenager friend of ours, Corena, not just one part in the play, but FOUR! She is a ninja, a maid named Mary (with a few lines--Speak up Corena! (she's kind of quiet)), in the Highlight Club scene, and as a policeman. My son Caden is going to do tech and play a policeman, but can't make it to the final night.
"Impossible Mystery" is just shaping up to be such a pleasure.
Yeah theater!
Keep Playing!
