Am absolutely buzzing from tonight’s first off-book rehearsal, on Act 1 and parts of 2.
…As Mdm Director noted: There were an insane amount of exceedingly complicated lines, running through the thought bubbles popping out of our heads, and following us about the stage as we strategized sex and manners and conversation…like fucking CHAMPIONS!
…Also: we laughed.
We laughed a LOT.
Mostly we managed to stick it together when it really counted, but good god this show is funny, and these people are funny, and even the accidents and line-calls: are funny.
…Terribly good bonding.
And now…I am wired.
I want to DO something.
Instead, all this excess of joyous yummy-feeling, is seated on the couch, punching away at my blog post, with a little picnic of sorts laid out and waiting for me to finish so I can tuck into some more words of Wilde, and a little delectable treat.
…Of course, I’ve started the wine already. But it was poured out and just sitting there, so what ELSE is one to do in such situations?
Never waste what your scene partner is giving to you.
…My current scene partner is a glass full of wine.
Challenge: accepted.
…Also TWO consecutive dates of cast-meets for bonding and chats have been secured for post-rehearsal this week.
…And our Merriman brought in Bourbon-Chocolate Butter-Cream Cupcakes at 9pm.
…Which (in retrospect) might ALSO have something to do with why I am so wired right now.
(A full cup of bourbon to the batter. Just. Do. It. I’m telling you.)
…And now, as I take another sip, I contemplate on if this is a sizable enough post to call it a day, and move on to more treats.
…Not that I don’t think you’re delicious, too.
Because I do.
…Just as tempting as the Butter-Cream.
And I’m being completely sincere.
Have you SEEN “you?”
Exquisite, my dear!
