Sunday July 18th

We had our 5 pm performance that day and we sold out again!! I had several friends in the audience. One of which was my awesome co-worker Annie! I'm always glad to hear when friends love the show and my performance.

There are two of our reviews. I'm memorable supposedly! Fuck Yeah I say!!!

Sold Out!

So our performance last night was sold out! That has got to be the most AMAZING feeling! I had had a super rough day. The rain was horrendous and I got super soaked waiting for the bus. I called up the roommate to give me a ride...she did...but with trepidation. I received a bunch of laughs during my scene. Overall, I think it went really well and I hope we sell out for our last three performances. Get your tickets!!

PS: I am wearing my hideous boot again, as my fractured foot is killing me. Let's see how many nice people there are on the metro and if they give of their seat. Probably not...

First Show at Fringe

So we finished our 1 pm show for the Fringe. I must say that it was a success!! We had almost a sold out audience....although the majority were the gay friends of Kat. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Her friends were incredibly responsive. It wasn't as hot either. Patrick, our venue manager, turned on both AC units and there was a fan!! Stage left was probably the coolest area of RedRum. I thought I was going to be late to the show as the blue line on the metro was having scheduled track maintenance as well as there was a problem. As I was coming up the stair to the platform my train was leaving and it was another 2o before one came. Thankfully, someone was looking over me and a yellow line train was a minute away from my platform at King St for me to transfer. It was raining but I managed. My make-up was a little worse for the wear but it's Fringe.

After the show people were thrilled! Some guy came up to me and was like I saw that you went to Rollins...did you know so and so. I was like nope...lol. He said my performance was great and he wished that there were more of me in the show. I told him to talk to the playwright about that! Overall, it was a great run and I look forward to our performance at 10 pm on Tuesday!! Now SLEEP!!!

Redrum, Redrum!!

So yesterday we were able to be in our space for our Fringe show. It has been incredibly hot in DC these past several days. I believe it was 102 yesterday in the District and it felt like 105-108 outside with humidity. We walk into our space at Fort Fringe, which is Redrum...and holy fucking shit, that heat was so oppressive I nearly keeled over. I was wearing a dress and I had to change into ANOTHER dress with no bra just so I could cool down. I seriously considered taking off my undies too. Just FYI I left them on! We were doing our cue to cue for Dog Sees God and by the end of it we were all so pissy we almost bit each other's heads off.

Supposedly there will be air by the time we perform on Saturday. I'm not holding out a lot of hope here. Now is when I wish I was doing a naked fringe show. That's the way to beat the heat! Take your clothes off!!! And to add insult to injury we didn't even get to finish our cue to cue because we got kicked out of the space at 7. We thought we were in there until 7:30. We all sort of left feeling dejected and wondering if this all was going to come together. I feel like we are a strong enough cast to pull some shit out of our asses if need be. Anyway, I feel like no one follows my blog. But if you do, and live in the DC area and want to see a show...come check out Dog Sees God!

Rehearsal for DSG 6/17

So tonight I had rehearsal for Dog Sees God. There were only four cast members there including myself. I didn't have to be at rehearsal last night, which was nice. We ran through Fire is Bad twice. It's really difficult in terms of blocking. Our venue: Red Rum at Fort Fringe is a bit crazy. It's got a thrust stage now, which means there are people on three sides of us. We had to do some tweaking to how Patrick and I were sitting. I also had to figure out new bits of blocking so that I was playing the scene to everyone that would be sitting in the audience. I don't want it to be that the audience that is sitting on the right is just staring at the back of my head the whole time. By the time we did the scene a second time it was a heck of a lot better. I got to go home a little earlier than usual. Now I don't have to be back until Wednesday. I now need to focus on memorizing a new monologue for my Synetic audition on the 27th.
