"In the midnight hour I can feel your power"
Opening last night went beautifully. Only the most minor of glitches, and a great audience. Except for the woman who walked out during the first scene. Somehow, she made it through the use of the N word, several sexuality-based slurs, and Renee making death threats to audience members, but couldn't handle the sight of boobs.
Everyone is making it v. clear they are terribly impressed that I've got the nerve to go topless onstage, going on about how much they respect me for clearly being confident and comfortable with my body, so clearly the constant refrain of "OhmygodIamonstageinonlyathongandaswastika" going on inside my head was not visible to others. After I got over the mildly panicky feeling it wasn't too bad, though, which is good to know. Also, about three in four of these conversations have degenerated to "Also? Nice boobs" after a point.
Ayesha is leaving us. ;_; After this semester she heads off to do fieldwork in NYC. Not fair! She'll be closer to her husband there, but she doesn't even seem to be happy about that. Apparently their relationship is very distant. I'm going to miss her so much, and it's worse still because she's so clearly unhappy about going.
Last night we violated Alan's lease agreement so hard. The apartment was crammed full of people to a truly ridiculous extent, and we danced to the scene change music from the show. Tonight Katie's birthday party is after the show, which should be good times. Anthony has declared that he and I are twins, for reasons I will not explain here. Katie finally explained to me what Alan has been whispering to her all this time which is so horrifying and now I, too, am horrified. I'm in love with this cast and crew. ♥
And now it is time to go do the whole insane thing all over again. Off I go!
