gettin' Mortified
Last night was the first of two Mortified shows I'm participating in. For those who don't know, Mortified is a produced show of folks reading from their high school journals. Yeah: the name is appropriate.
It's been more like being in a play than doing a reading, with the rehearsals, brochures, stage, power point of bad photos, etc. For participating, I'll have free comp tickets for life. Not bad.
After the first show I can safely say: how utterly intoxicating.
What I generally gun for in readings is to get an emotional reaction out of my audience. Usually, this means making them cry. Making them crack up is a much more satisfying experience, even if it is at the expense of my adolescent self. My adult self is over it, and can take it.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Friday show, and everyone coming to the Saturday one. Something tells me this won't be my last time performing with this troop.
