curtain goes up…

Filed under: General

today in a few hours, it will be my opening night. despite my misgivings about this play and regretting being in it at all, many times over the course of two months of rehearsals, the fact remains i have had fun. and tonight is the opening night, and no amount of pessimism can take away the rush i woke up with. i haven’t been on stage in sometime, specifically at the good old wendt, (which deserves a post on its own) and am looking forward to it. besides, i really love the girls on the cast. i’m so glad i met them. like im sure ive said before, the friends you make during times like these last a good forever. even if its to make an utter spectacle of myself, here goes nothing!

my friends are damn persistent. after me having me told them endlessly to NOT come for the play, it turns out most (MOST. most. not all. hmph) of them are. one of them even, oh so subtlely, messaged me and asked me this morning what flowers i like. very smooth. and i must admit, as much as i repetitively proclaimed that i didnt want anyone i know seeing this play, im happy they’re going to be there. it will make sheer embarassment easier to take. unless they’re the ones causing it, which too, is more than possible.

it was my friend guppy’s (dont ask. iroms is to blame for that messed up rendition of his perfectly normal name) birthday yesterday. i got dragged out from the wendt at about 10.30 pm (scraped off the floor, rather) and taken haggardly to the thomian fair. it was fun, but i was too tired to really go all out and do any of the fair-things except eat. and eat. and eat. it was an exceptionally wonderful night anyway, mr fabulous made sure of that.

i hope guppy has a wonderful year, he deserves nothing less.

  1. Guppy is a perfectly respectable name me thinks :) Esp compared to what my sister is coming up with ;)

    Anyways hope opening night went really well, break a leg etc etc. Sad that I’m missing another play of yet another actressy friend but what to do :)

  2. Good luck ( rather late in the day but hope it went off well). Did Tracy Holsinger have anything to do with this? Oh, and did she direct Ladies’ for Shakes electra?
