Blithe Spirit

only two more weeks until we open! am i nervous? HECK YEAH! i was nervous 4 weeks ago! "Ruth" has so many lines, i didn't know what i was getting myself into! yeah, i've always wanted a lead, but this is like a LEAD role! since it is upperclass british, 1940s, there are a lot of words! or maybe it's just how my character is. for instance, i can't just say "i would rather there were not misunderstandings between us" i say " i really would so much rather that there were no misunderstandings between us." and yes, that is one of my struggling lines. i mean, really? do i really need to say all that? but it's getting there. the guy that plays opposite from me is fantastic! not only as an actor, but as a fellow thespian. he has been so supportive and patient with me and my lines. he's even been meeting with me two hours before rehearsals to work on lines. he's helped me figure out ways to make the line make sense in my head. he's been fabulous to work with. and last night i think it finally paid off. i still struggled on some of my lines, but only because i have like 100,000,000 of them, but the one scene we have together had our director almost speechless. he had nothing bad to say about it and just couldn't find all the words he wanted to say about it. it was great! it's really come a long way, and we still have two weeks to make it better!!! Hope you are able to make it! we open october 3rd, and run every weekend through the 31st. please visit www.gaslighttheatrecompany.com to get tickets!

i remembered the third!

i do know of a third person who is getting a divorce! (don't know what i'm talking about? read blog before) i have a coworker who is getting a divorce. they have three young kids which really sucks, but i guess he's just using her now and it's just ugly... why are guys such jerks? errr... ok, that's not necessarily true. not ALL guys... anyway, another person i just want to give a hug to and tell her everything will be ok!!!!

lunch break! breakups!

yeah, not really in the mood to be with people today. that's not always the best when you are stuck in a locked room (don't worry, i can get out!) with 8 other people. so i take my lunch at my desk. at least have of them are at the cafe, and the other half are quiet.
i think august was the month of breakups! they always say it happens on threes. i don't really have a third unless i count my friend's friends who seperated last month as well. my neighbors are getting a divorce. i totally lost respect for him. they just celebrated their 9 yr anniversary, and what does he do? has an affair with a co-worker. i never thought these two had issues. it actually was quite a shock for her as well. she thought they had a great life together, and were going to start trying for kids soon... guess that's not happening. but my husband and i have lost all respect for him. i just don't understand how people can do that to eachother! oh it just makes me mad.
then there's my friend from the theatre company. again, they seemed happy! pretty much in love with eachother, enjoyed eachother's company... but then something happened. don't know what yet. but they broke up. they were engaged. he will be leaving for NYC again soon. he is so not a CO boy. definitely belongs in the city. yeah...
anyone else break up last month? the only good outcome on these, is it give my husband and i a new perspective on our relationship. we know it's good. we know we love each other, but it just reminds us of what we take for advantage, a loving steady relationship. it makes us love each other more i guess... respect eachother more. it just sucks to see everyone around you break up while you live the happy life... i don't know. i just had to blog that as it still rides on my mind how, in a day, your life can change forever. i just want to hug my friends and tell them it will be ok... so here's my hug! {-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
