First Readthrough of A Christmas Carol--random musings

~I like things to be fair, though they hardly ever are.
It may be that I'm not as funny as I thought. Or maybe I just like things to go smoothly. Maybe I'm more polite than I thought. See, I think it's remarkably rude for people to talk over someone else when they are reading through their lines in the first read through of a script.

~Mr. Scrooge is a Republican.

~I think it's hilarious that I play two wives and one husband is my own husband and one husband is young enough to be a very young son of mine. Cougars in Dickens? Yes!

~Mrs. Cratchit would have a lower voice than Mrs. Fezziwig. Mrs. Cratchit aka Mother has worked hard her whole life, has lived in a place that probably has dubious flues on the chimneys, making smoke in the room from October to June. Talk about a smoker's cough! Mrs. Fezziwig is silly and loving. Her voice will be higher, and more cultured.

~If you know you can't make it to rehearsals and performances, you shouldn't audition.

~I need to learn how to sew well.

~It's clark, not clerk.

~Sometimes seating charts are necessary for adults. To keep the distruptive ones separate.

~It is invaluable to have a good friend in the same room with you.

Keep playing!
