Horrible final dress rehearsal last night for “Of Mice & Men”. But then again rehearsals have been sluggish the entire time.
The director is an actor I’ve worked with in many shows over the past 6 years, but this is the first show I’ve been in that he has directed. He’s been pretty hands off, which isn’t always bad, but this material has a lot of nuance that I don’t think we’re achieving.
My character is pretty one dimensional, on purpose, but I think I’ve done enough to give him a little bit of depth. Opening night will be what it will be. Maybe we’ll surprise ourselves.
Get no time off. Three weekends of this show. Go right into rehearsals for “Cinderella” next week. I don’t know what I’m doing at all in that play yet.
Also already working on an original play that goes up in March that another actor friend has written and is directing (both a first for him). It’s dark, dense, and strange material.
Follow that up with possible productions of “Pride & Prejudice” in April and “Sweeney Todd” in June, neither one which I am fully committed to yet. Very busy first half of this year.
Keeping busy is good, but stressful. I'll eventually need time to rest & recharge, but for now it's good that I am no disappearing. Work is draining. But I'm slowly earning my way out of the holes of the past two years.
