In Which Our Heroine Is a Wee Bit Loopy and Rambles
I have gotten about 5 hours of good sleep in the last two nights, so I'm a little loopy at the moment and keeping myself awake by making along overdue catchup post. Yay.
So, after a two week hiatus, we have resumed rehearsals for the show I'm stage managing summer. It's called Jump: A Love Story, and it is a creepy-as-hell stream-of-consciousness devised piece about the Golden Gate Bridge as a suicide destination. It's a really screwed up script (such as it is), but it's going to be so pretty, and the actors are fantastic both at their craft and to work with. We're in decent shape, but it's incredibly frustrating trying to work around people's schedules and then work rehearsal schedules around other things. We have a website here, which apparently no longer has all the cool pictures and text is used to, but does have links to the Facebook and the trailer which do still have pictures and such. Funny story: Mario, the writer/director whose thesis project this is, asked me to work on this after talking to me for 10 minutes in the hall at school last fall while I was stage managing his short piece in the Mainstage Fringe. We work well together, because he's a gay man who thinks like a chick and I'm a straight woman who kinda thinks like a dude. It's hilarious.
I'm actually working on two shows, as I am also the "Food Mistress" for my friend Abbey's thesis production of Life x3 by Yasmina Reza. Which has yet to start regular meetings and might possibly still be missing an actor. Out of a cast of four. I need to check in on them. But I'm sure it'll work out fine. Eternal theatrical optimism.
This is one of the longest rehearsals of my life I am so exhausted.
Iiiiiiin other news my supposed best friend doesn't really talk to me anymore, which has freed me up to spend a lot of time hanging out with people he doesn't really like (which is pretty much everyone at this point, since he spent most of last semester burning bridges with basically everyone he knew at SFSU and a few other people besides). I have discovered that I have an amazing social life when I just decide to have one.
I really miss having the time (and stamina) to RP like back in the day.
Can this rehearsal be over now please dear everything sacred? Okay, gonna close this and colse rehearsal and call it a night.
