"Tuesday: Rehearsal"


Today was a much more interesting day than Monday.

My sister had an acting gig down here in Milwaukee, so she came by for a visit and we hung out for a little bit before she headed off to the shoot. I'm glad to see she's finding theatrical success, and I'm enjoying the fact that one of my younger siblings is also theatrically-minded. It makes for some interesting interaction (and some engaging creative conversation)! At this rate, though, she'll probably become a bigger success before I will. Oh well. The world's not perfect. .... [sarcastic chuckle].

On my end of the theatrical spectrum, however, rehearsal for my show went off pretty well this evening. I wasn't feeling quite as connected as I was earlier, but I came across come new ideas, and I'm still researching the characters somewhat. So, I suppose things are generally still a work in progress. I have a few days yet to think, experiment, and adjust, but all is well. I am, however, feeling very confident with the way the characters are progressing so far. That's a very good sign.

We got our contumes for the "Second Honeymoon" show today, and I'm really enjoying them too. They're fun and simplistic. But every little bit helps create the character. You probably won't see me in 1960's vintage clothing (or something like it) in real life very often, but when it comes with the role, it's really hard to turn down! .... [grin].

Fun times. But then again, as far as I'm concerned, the stage is always a blast! I certainly have to agree with that Shakespeare guy when he said, "Life is but a stage, and we are all merely players." He hit the nail on the head.... I do love playing! ....(Now, if only I could make a sturdy living doing this, then I'd have it made!)

Have a blessed day, and I'll catch you tomarrow -- on one of my favorite days of the year! .... [wink].

Your happily blogging friend,
