My play goes up tonight.
Ordinarily, this would have me in a frenzy of self-promotion and bubbly exuberance from my love of performing.
This show is different.
Hear me out:
We've been in rehearsals for this play we'll just call "Shamlet" (subtle) since August. Every role save a few have been cast at least twice (including mine). Two weeks before our intended opening date, we were informed that due to a clerical error (read: fuck-up) on the part of the Gardner Stages scheduling personnel, our little play was gonna have to wait. We've dealt with guitar music that interrupts our rehearsal regularly, never having all our actors for a full run and diva-tudes that would make Whitney Houston blush.
I want the fucking thing over.
Not to say that it hasn't been fun and a good experience. Not to say that I'm not grateful to have finally appeared in a fully-mounted Shakespeare production. Not to say that the experience hasn't taught me things and made me better and stronger and all that jazz.
But enough already.
It's opening night.
Let's knock this shit out.
