(friends are forever) the stumble-through....

[thoreau]

Last night was the first run-through of the play - with the actors about 90% off book. Parts of the play are simply devine, smooth and perfect - - others? not so much. (laughing) My character has long periods where he sits and listens for pages and pages then has a one word response them pages and pages of dialogue. You'd think I could memorize a line like "I'm glad I could help.." and "Saint James has left the buildling" - -- but both times - the play came to a screeching (crickets chirping) halt each time. (tres-embarassment!) It was the first run through - a month from opening night and all - but still. I was disappointed in myself. Tonight is the wonderful photo shoot for the promotional materials and press packages. The outfits are divine - they sure got a great costumer for this show. Everyone is in these saturated warm colours. We're going to look amazing. I can't wait to see the photos and share them with you here. (patience is NOT my forte) (um - duh?)

Ha ha... I can totally see how that would happen, what with all the waiting and all. But hey, like you said, it was the first walkthrough.

I'm so excited to see it!

"Divine" always has two i's and only one e, and not just sometimes. I love you but I need you to know that. ;-)

I happily await the photos! Whee! Break a leg!

Meh. That's what editors are for. When you have them. And they do their job correctly. ;-)
