(friends are forever) first rehersal

So last night was the first rehearsal for the new play. The director talked about his vision for the play - and what he was expecting of us. He's very bright, energetic and intense. The cast is visually exactly what you'd expect from reading the script - - which was most entertaining. The bear couple (Roger and Mike), the precious queen (James) and his callboy boyfriend putting himself through medical school (Bill), and an oversexed muscle boy (George) and his boyfriend whom everyone else has slept with (Steve). It plays like a very gay version of Sex in the City - and the director has decided to really embrace that "feel" - and go with a high fashion glamorous set design and costume set. so it'll be a blast to get dressed and 'become' Roger every night.

Roger (my character) is someone who desperately wants to be the naughty boy - and do whatever it takes to please Mike. The only problem is the only example of naughty Roger knows is from really bad porn - lines from which he tries to use a few times to add "spice" to the conversation - only resulting in bringing everything to a screeching halt. It'll be fun to learn Roger and let the director lead us towards opening night.

Tom Kelly's play is lightning fast in the dialogue department - so the director wants us off book as soon as possible. so - it's going to be hard work - but I think the play is going to be beautifully staged and he attracted (me aside) a talented, and visually attractive cast. :) this is going to be lots of fun!

Enter The Dragon

Waiting on the kitchen table when Kateydog and I returned from the weekend away with David - there was a lovely new member of the household, courtesy of Cory coryblank.

Ladies and Gents.... Meet Puff the Chewable Dragon....



When I came home for lunch today - I took him out of his bag and set him on the kitchen floor. She sniffed around him and went back to her perch looking out the window.

When I got home this afternoon - Puff and Kate were sleeping on her blankey together. So - the successor of Gingerbread Man has arrived... Puff is made of the same "chew resistant" fabric that Ginger was made of. So the clock is set.... and Miss Kate already chewing away.

Thanks, Corey!!
