Blah.
Life has been very busy, very blah.
Opening night tomorrow for my already third play in the first three months of this year. This one has been the trickiest so far. We need at least two more weeks of rehearsal, but that ain't happening.
I'm working mostly with a performer that is quite the opposite in style from me, but even though I'm usually quite adaptable this material is strange, dense, and flowery; so it makes it difficult to tell the story without precision. And neither of know the material well enough yet to be able to steer each other without hiccups.
Then I'll have two weeks off without rehearsal (YAY!), just performances of this show the next two weekends. Before rehearsals start on "Pride & Prejudice" in which I am playing Mr. Darcy. I am very much looking forward to that. I'll be quite possibly the least attractive man to ever play Jane Austen's most famous romantic foil, but I fucking know this character so well and love the story so much.
My mom has had some health scares this week. Two ER visits. Not many answers yet. Referrals and testing and waiting. Blah.
Work has been busy and frustrating. Hoping to be able to start looking for another job this summer, when I take time off from doing theatre and after I've had the chance to use my current healthcare coverage to get on a healthier track. This job and office are just too much of strain, don't want to burn out a year from now and end up unemployed without something else lined-up. I need to work, don't think I could survive another extended bout of unemployment. So I have to plan and be diligent and really figure what I can do next and what I want to do next.
