Hello kids. I have a lot going on. Two more performances of Moonglow in Ann Arbor. My Uncle Paul and Aunt Faith are coming tonight, as well as my wife.
Last night I had a dream that I moved to Chicago, in with Leah, Faith's sister. I have been thinking a lot about moving to Chicago , lately, but my main worry is who I'd live with... So it was funny that my dream offered me that idea... It was summertime in the dream; I was about to go see the Cubs play the Tigers at Wrigley Field. How disappointing to wake up to my busy schedule in Michigan in cold weather.
The director for Moonglow saw our show on Thursday and mentioned that after six weeks, it was still quite fresh. This pleased me to hear. I wonder how we do that, repeat and repeat and still give a fresh performance. I think the audiences have a lot to do with it... the chemistry is different every night. Also, though we would never make them intentionally, little mistakes help too. But I feel that because my character is so vague--she's in and out and dancing, a ball of energy, basically "youth" personified, I'm discovering bits about her all the time. I am not tired of the show at all. I'm looking forward to taking it to Lansing at the end of the month.
We started Anne Frank Rehearsals on Tuesday. It's very odd to think that a year has passed since we last put that one on. I am almost too stressed to enjoy it at this point, but hopefully things will slow down a bit soon. I met Joel in Anne Frank last year, so that adds an interesting layer to the process (especially because last year I decided that my character, Margot, can't stand Mr. Dussel most of the time... He kicked her out of her bed, etc... Sorry Joel!) Annie and Roth-Cloth (Dan) are in the show too, and I think the four of us are going to be trouble, soon... Scheduling rehearsals has been a real trial because during the mere two weeks we have, I have Moonglow to close and three day-jobs... I'm trying not to think about that too much. I'm glad my character only has about a dozen lines to review.
I will miss my time with Bethany (Bose)... I'm at a coffee shop with her right now, playing on her wireless internet.
Well, until next time...
