I'm a REAL actress!!
Vagina Monolgues opened tonight!!
Just me, performing on stage for an auditorium packed with 700 people....
it was quite a rush.
I think I've been bitten by the acting bug...New York is calling out to me, beckoning with sequined gloves...
oh well. I can't cross the border anyway, seeing as i have no passport. So I guess I'm safe from my own self destructive urges to run away and be a broadway queen for now, at least.
Although...when you think about it....compared to music, acting isn't THAT much more of a soft option in terms of life plans....
*grin*
Aside from just enjoying the sheer experience of going out onstage and being completely unafraid of performing (for once...I get SO much more nervous when horn is involved--possibly because the people who hear me play horn have expectations for me), to be able to successfully do this show tonight represented a larger accomplishment for me; I saw the show at mcgill for two years running, and last year, as I sat there, watching others enact it, I said to myself "Next year, i want to be in this show". So, time passed...I auditioned, got called back, got the role, rehearsed, rehearsed, prepared, rehearsed, and tonight, fulfilled my goal and did a good job. I actually saw something I wanted, pursued it, and got it. Tick mark next to that one on the list. The fact that I was able to actually follow through on something I wanted makes me feel very positive and empowered.
anyway. miss you guys. wish you could have been here to see it; you would have laughed!!
3 more shows to go...!
