Today marked my first day of rehearsal. I am keeping this short because I am le tired!!! I had rehearsal for Hooked Up tonight which is one of the plays I am in. It was written by a 12th grader at Aspen High School. I must say that it is pretty freakin' funny. Does it compare to the work of MFA Playwrights? No. Still, she might want to consider a future as a writer. We actually got to work in the space which was great. It will be our only time in the Black Box until tech begins on Thursday. We only get six hours total for each play. So to put up two ten minute plays I only get 12 hours of rehearsal time before I begin to tech. That's with sound, lights, costumes, and being completely off book. I'm having trouble connecting to this play versus my other one called Ground. There are a lot of technical aspects and it isn't as simple as the other play. I sometimes like simplicity in a play, because once you find the tone, it ALL just sort of falls into place. I do my work....but it is less of a headache (which I get frequently around here...lol). Oh and btw, before rehearsal..where I FELL mind you. I was on my way up a hill and it was all icy-snowy and I went down hard. It was something out of Home Alone. I was airborne...seriously. I have a big ass bruise on my hip and butt and one on my knee. It really is sad that I lost all that weight from surgery because I really needed it in that situation.
After rehearsal we all went to dinner at Julia's house. Yes, you heard right....dinner...at 10 pm! That's like midnight normal people time...i.e Eastern Time. LOL. That's how all us East Coasters think of this time change. We had wine, chicken, twice baked potatoes, bread, salad, roasted tomatoes, and pineapple for dessert! I had already eaten my 3 meals, now I was consuming a 4th. Tomorrow I plan to still go to the dinner to be social, but I will just be having a light snack, some wine, and leaving early to go be off book. Peace Out!
But I'm le tired.....
