So...
Pillowman is over. And now that I've given it a few day to settle in (even though it really hasn't clicked yet), I feel like I can say a few words about everything.
It was a phenomonal performance (from my view anyway). I loved every minute of it. I feel that it let me grow as an actor as well as shed light on my potential. Which I still feel like I haven't really reached just yet. The role of Katurian is by far my favourite. It lead me down paths of my own subconscious that i didn't even know were there. No, this doesn't mean I want to kill kids. It just means that it help me shed some light on things going on on my life at the moment, and allowed me to say, "Hey, It could be a hell of a lot shittier!" Which led me to move on passed things I had a hard time moving passed. But, this was a group effort, and none of it could have been done with out the rest of the cast. All of which shined through out! Jon reached places I never though possible of him (I'm being really honest here). It was my first acting experience with Cort, so not much to compare it to (I'm really not including musicals, as they don't show much RAW acting ability like straight shows do, if you get what I mean). And Nate was pretty awesome as Ariel, the emotion at the end for him really stands out to me, quite the character twist. And the stories were just fucking awesome!
Anyway, I'm going to miss this production. I hope that at some point in my acting future I get to do the show again, and seeing as how I can only grow as an actor, I hope (that if I get re-cast as Kat) that I can take the character to levels I didn't see at the time.
Now that Midsummer is approaching, it's kinda showing some promise (what little I see anyway) and I think that we could definitely turn it into a show worth watching...even if I disagree with the amount that was cut out of it. We'll see.
But I'm going to go finish a paper now.
See ya!
