Emily's A Tad Loony Today.
I know that I would be twice as loony at this moment if I were at props, frantically scooting around with liquor bottles hugged tightly in my arms. Trust me guys, it would have been bad. Let's just say backstage would have been full of silent mimicking and whispers of random phrases, such as "edible confetti" or pertaining to "jello" versus "cello."
I totally love my "Property of Props" shirt, though. I am the Stealth Props. Hear me roar... very stealthy-like. I really need to learn how to throw my voice. I can already do ventriloquism, so I'm hoping the concept is similar. I also know martial arts. So, if you're an actor, and you're reading this, don't touch the props, less you wish to hear a swish from behind, get slapped on the wrist, swerve around and see no one. We techies tend to blend into the surrounding darkness. Back in "To Kill a Mockingbird" days, Trudy, Elise, and I got stepped on, like, eight times on performance. It was horrible, but flattering at the same time. Sadly, however, this play gives us no chance to lie down for merely a second. This is both a good and a bad thing. *pause* I'm really enthused that the director is letting the crews take bows, too. With the actors! When I heard this, I wanted to run down the hallway and start hugging people! It's not often we get to take a bow.
And I just got a call saying Props was not at 3:30, but it is at 6:30, so I gotta bolt, all. Talk to you later. I heart you all, seriously. I do.
"I'm just sayin.'"
