OH GOD AN UPDATE! (ahem, will wonders never cease)
So I graduated college, spent the summer in semi-fruitless job hunting and obscene leisure and theatrical pursuits and somehow managed to update about any of it. I am a bad girl. I'd spank myself but somehow I think it would be excessive and somewhat tasteless so I'll refrain with a certain amount of effort.
I'm not sure what has prompted me to crawl out of my hiatus, kicking and screaming...maybe its that all the WAC-ites are back at college and I'm feeling disconnected...despite the deluge of Writers Union and Middle emails I get every day. Yay Molly for English, I was rooting for you with my non-existant alum vote. I talked to Joe and he said I can sneak on the Renn Fest trip which is a wonderful way to go for free with marvelous people. Also, I'm planning on visiting this weekend! Sept. 10, will see me attempting a shuttle ride down to scenic Chestertown for purely Geeky purposes. (Capital G which rhymes with V and stands for Vampires) I'm still not entirely sure how thats going to work...but hey thats part of the fun.
I've spent most of the summer in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, at the Greenbelt Arts Center, playing a 12-16 year old girl with a number of fifteen year olds as the other girls. I felt old. I know 22 isn't ancient by any stretch but these girls were in high school! One of them even went to my old one and has teachers I had..one I've even TAd for...No one realized I was six -seven years older then they were...I had one lady comment that she thought I was 14. Acting..it's all acting...ouch, my sense of dignity. This wouldn't have been quite as bad if my part didn't feature a semi-nude scene. Nice to know I look 14 in my bra and undies, I'm sure my boyfriend loves that thought. (yes Dave, semi-naked Heather and you MISSED IT! MWHAHAHA...ahem)
The play was excellent, though and from it I got the request to be in yet another play whose lead actress had been forced to quit so now I'm going to be appearing as Lucy in Dracula at Prince Georges Little Theater. While I don't get to pose for nude paintings I do get to float around looking anemic and trying to bite people...it's like college all over again...
