Faire is over, back to Theatre!
I've added another theatre to my sidebar. Last night I finally saw elliedee perform in Wrong Turn at Lungfish at Stage Door Players, a professional theatre in the northern Atlanta suburbs. Her character was a gum-snapping, nasal young woman with little education and less self respect, in utter contrast to the poise and polished articulate MFA I've met in RL. She dodged the easy stereotype, too. The show was engrossing, so the point that my knees locked up because I hadn't moved all through the first act. I'll go see more shows at Stage Door and need to see about volunteering.
Friday night, I ushered at 14th Street Playhouse again for Respect. I saw it during previews, and it's fascinating to watch now towards the end of the run. Lynne was house manager again, and was still the most organized and thorough of all those I've dealt with lately, which makes me much more competent as an usher. She made a point of telling me to get her is anyone complained about the temperature, so I sent two women over during intermission, and she loaned them light weight blankets trimmed to shawl size, a brilliant solution to the eternal complaints about air conditioning.
Tonight, it's back to the Tavern for Cabaret. I was volunteer captain there Wednesday as well, for a benefit performance (not sold out, so I was able to sit at a table and eat while I watched). This is an excellent, funny, raunchy, painful show.
I have other things I want to post about, but I'll save them for another one.
