Made it through another performance!
They laughed in all different places tonight, it was most disconcerting. But! I didn't have a coughing attack during the finale. My voice cracked a couple of times in the aria, but it wasn't too bad. I'm hoarse as all hell now -- hopefully my throat will pull its sorry self together in time for tomorrow's matinee.
After the show was over, one of the theater faculty -- a man I have heard much about, but never met face-to-face -- had some students pull me aside so he could talk to me. He gave me a hug and told me "You were fucking amazing, just, wow, what presence..." Then he said "Uh, hi, I'm Harry. Pleased to meet you." He also did a hilarious imitation of the little mincing walk I do a couple of times during the jail scene. It was awesome.
What makes me even happier, though, are the beautiful purple lilies the Laurel House gave me. I love, love, love getting flowers. I also love, love, love my housemates.
Hey, guys, I could get used to this college theater gig. Pity I'm almost out of time in which to do so...
