Taste of the Stage
I got a call Monday night around 12:30 begging me to help out with a murder mystery for a dinner theater play at school. The actress portraying the psychologist quit and they needed a replacement to start Tuesday night. I said sure, it sounded like fun. I’ve always wanted to do a play and somehow always chickened out just before tryouts. I was told to show up in garb Tuesday night at the appointed place.
For dress rehearsal.
The last dress rehearsal before the performance – on Wednesday night.
So I got to get a look at the script when I arrived Tuesday night. It wasn’t so much a script as an outline of events that needed to take place. All of the dialogue was improvised.
Ummm … what?
Despite all of this and last minute changes that took place we ran through things one and half times and we all showed up Wednesday night.
It was great!
I’m proud of myself for doing a good job, basically stealing the show, and for not gimping out and not doing it. 
That’s awesome!
Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun! I would never have the courage to do something like that. I took public speaking as a community college credit class in high school so I wouldn’t have to take it with three hundred people in college.
Nice. I love the stage, but that would have kicked my ass being as short notice as it was.
that does sound awesome. props to you for being able to do it. public speaking makes my tomato death blush come up, and it’s not pretty.
YESSSSSSSSSSS! This is awesome. Congratulations.
Wow! I’m very impressed! That’s wonderful that you’re able to walk on the stage and do an improv performance without being in all the rehersals. Excellentay! I have a hard time doing improv without getting too far off the tracks.
that’s awesome! very impressive. yay for trying new things 🙂
Well, well, well! An actress to boot! Glad you didn’t chicken out.
Wat to go, swirly! I’ve had a rub with things theatrical myself recently. You can read all about it on my site.
