Miss Willie and me...

now don't take that title the wrong way! it is short for willimenia. and i totally spelled it wrong. it's my character in "the curious Savage". tonight was one of those nights that every true actor looks forward to. yes, we are still on script, so full character mode is handicapped by a book in your hand. but a character still needs to be present. i had these certain moments where Miss Willie was there. there were points, and i got commented on them, where i just did things. it's what she would do. i was just being her. and i was her. and then i get complimented on my entrance, or a look i gave, or a way i said a line. and to be honest, i don't quite remember what i did. probably becuase she did it. not me. so i just have to hope she brings it again to rehearsal. and i've got to get off book. although i have recieved compliments from the director t hat he can tell i really worked hard on my character, when in reality, i just read the lines between work and rehearsal, in a restaurant. can't really speak them out loud. i just have to trust MW will get me through this and we will become great as one...
