Opening Night/Quiz


Well, tonight is opening night for Tom Sawyer! Last night was the "unofficial" invitational dress rehearsal (which mean that we could invite people, in case you had not guessed).
I invited some people to it but no one was able to come. I came out, searching the crowd with my eyes to see if perhaps someone had come, hoping against hope. I had known that there was a possibility that no one would come but I was hoping...no. I was, indeed, sad.
That I know of, no one whom I know will be coming the opening weekend at all but I can still hope...
We had new (and working) curtains last night and that was exciting. I'm getting used to the costume and hair.
There are these two ladies who are basically in charge of hair/make-up. I think that is nice to have someone else do it (other than my mother). It feels more official that way. I am getting used to the costume and hair. I think that the hair was what took the most getting-used-to.
I'm finally getting the hang of things (lines, blocking, props, choreography,etc.) in this play.
I told the director that (and this is true) the only play I saw at that playhouse before I began acting (officially) was Anne of Green Gables, which she directed. If I had not gone and seen that play at that playhouse a couple years ago, I might not have known about community theater. After telling her that, she said, "That makes my entire month." Well, she may have made my entire acting career. I'm glad that I was able to tell her that.
At the same time that I am ecstatic about performance, I am kind of sad. Performances means that this project is coming to an end. I have always cried after the final performance so I will probably do it again this time. I hope that I'll be able to work with these people again in other productions (adults as well as my fellow "teens").
On a lighter note, I kind of feel sorry for Barrett! He is always getting in trouble for something or doing something wrong. For instance, the day after the chief costume/make-up lady tells him that he needs to bring black socks he comes to rehearsal with white socks. His excuse? "Laundromat!" Apparently Barrett's mom took his one pair of black socks to the Laundromat that night. But after the lady (Mrs. W) gave him a good lecture (or whatever) he brought two brand new pairs of black socks to rehearsal. He's funny.
The girl that plays Becky is so sweet! (Not that the other girls are not nice, too.) She laughs at me (I love to make people laugh, in case you did not know) when I try to be funny.

Well, enough about that. At the bottom of this post is a quiz/poll thing that I filled out. Actually, it is only 1/3 of a quiz. I'll try to give you the rest over a couple of posts.
I should probably go now. I'm so excited about tonight. I hope that the entire cast breaks a leg! (Did I mention that I am very excited about tonight?)
