Shit the bed tonight at the show. Was just off from the beginning, then I zoned out and missed an entrance, leaving the other actors onstage to improvise a reason to send someone offstage to get me. We had a sold out house and my parents were there, can’t say my part impacts the show that much so it was still well received. But I hate having an off night. Oh well.
Got another weekend of “Of Mice & Men” next weekend as we take the show to another small town that has a renovated theater space, but no theater company that produces show.
Meanwhile I’ll be grinding away at rehearsals for the production of “Cinderella” that opens on February 9th. Have no idea what kind of costume I have to put together for that. And starting on Monday to work on an original play that is dark & twisted, which I have a lot of dialogue in, that opens in mid-March.
Worried I’ll be too burned out once that show is done to be involved with “Pride & Prejudice” in April or “Sweeney Todd” in June. Of course there are other reasons why I might just choose to skip both of those shows, despite liking source material. Don't suspect I'd be happy with the roles I'd likely end up playing in them.
Another theatre company in the area that I haven’t worked with in about 7 years is doing “The Fantastiks” in May, but I have to just keep that out of my kind because the timing won’t work for that either.
Have to get more picky with the shows and roles I take. It's too much work and time to commit to a production to not get enough back in return for me. I've always put the show and theatre first, but I can't keep doing the work if I don't feel like I'm appreciated or challenged enough. Granted when you have a bad night like I did tonight it seems comical to want more.
