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!!!

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.
