So, I've been lax about posting to this blog since Romeo and Juliet ended. I'm working out a system to keep up with it a little better, but for now I've got a full time job and two theses to finish and two shows going up.
First, Maid's Tragedy (by Beaumont and Fletcher) is going very well. We're down to doing run-throughs which is a good thing, but I'm still having some trouble keeping up consistencies with my character. I'm in a lot of scenes, but never say very much. I seem to hate my brother, but I have his back starting two thirds of the way through the play. As of right now, I'm just playing the scenes as they come and it seems to be working, but something still feels off. We'll see if that sorts itself out over the next two weeks. I'm crossing my fingers.
The other project I'm "involved" in is the Murder Mystery dinner theatre show that takes place every week up at Massenutten resort. Involved is in quotes because I'm just the understudy for a couple of characters. The likelihood that I'll ever actually go on is very small, but it gets me a foot in the door with a company where I can actually get paid to act in shows. Now, I have no aspirations to be a full time actor, but it is something that I enjoy very much doing on the side. :)
More to come, hopefully in less time than it took to post this.
