Choices
Ever feel entirely sure your life is heading in a specific direction, without a shred of doubt and suddenly everything changes and things shift into a path you simply weren't exspecting?
Yes.
For instance;
Chicago auditions went very well...oddly enough...and I was casted as Annie one of the Cell Block Tango girls who kills her Mormon husband with Arsenic. This was appropriate. And I was insanely excited to be working with Absolute Theatre, to be performing at the Smith Opera House, to be in a show. Then there was a slight change of plans with the play at North Rose. And positions and production dates were changed. I'm the Assistant Director now of a play called Fieffer's People And I was also very excited about this opportunity, working with Steve and the kids at school. But it ended up with both shows on the same weekend. And so I had to choose the play rather then Chicago...sadly...mostly because I was getting paid at North Rose and it was closer to home. It kills me to give up Chicago. And I hope I have another chance to perfom with Absolute Theatre and at the Smith but for now, it isn't to be...for a reason...and I think I have an idea of the reason...but I am usually very wrong about these types of things.
So yes, no Chicago, yes the play at North Rose.
But now I am able to help out backstage for a production of Rapunzel at a new professional children's theatre in Rochester called Tykes Children's Theatre. And this may not be the only opportunity available there...which would be fantastic. So maybe that is really where I am heading right now. Ironic actually in many different ways.
I went to Stratford this weekend with fellow theatre and communications students from FLCC. An enjoyable time. We saw Noises Off (fabulous) and A Misdummer Night's Dream (very nice but a bit dissapointing). What a dream it would be to perform at Stratford. What a dream it would be to perform.
I am watching The Hours right now, one of my all time favorite movies. It's so beautiful. I wish I could describe things with accuracy, explain what it really is that moves me about a film or a play or a peice of writing. But I never can. Like Wit. One of my favorite plays but when asked why I like it, I can never give a sufficient answer and I feel so horrible not being able to do any justice for such amazing works that I so admire and resepct.
The fascinating concept of the week is: Devotion.
The other fascinating concept of the week is: Boundries.
I don't know where I stand...and yet I think that is what makes it fun and thrilling in a sense. Not really knowing. When you don't really know, it's easier to adapt to suddeness, changes, and surprises. When you think you really know, then life catches you offgaurd and well...that can be miserable.
Ignorance is bliss.
Yes.
