In Our Town, the director kept wanting me, as Professor Willard, to be overly excited about rock with being able to keep my pace down. I admit I struggled with this.
Yesterday I knew I got it! I could hear him laughing in the house as I said my funny bits! I was really excited! I was just being given more energy because I knew my performance was going well.
After My character was shooed off stage, I went to go do costume stuff. The costume mom told me the director wanted me school marmy handed me a sweater and black skirt. I went back and I tried them on. The skirt fit well and the sweater fit well on the waist and wrist. The sleeves were huge! They hung at least a half a foot off of my arm. When I came out, they all looked at me and I showed them my arms. Then I began to flap my arms. We could not stop laughing! Soon a cast member came back and told us that they could hear us and we needed to quiet down. I apologized and flapped my wings for her. She started laughing too. Eventually they got me a new shirt that works and I look very much like a school marm.So then I changed out of my costume because we needed to alter a few things. And I went to sit down to wait for the second act.
After the first act we had a break and the director called a few people up to him including me. I arrived first and we "pounded" (If that is the correct term) it, which was rather amusing because we are both very white. He told me I did a fantastic job and I nailed it. I was very excited. Then he told me that the next time he wants me to do it prim and proper.
Oh, Theater will you ever be satisfied?
So that is where we are. I hope you all have a lovely day.
