Gosh - Haven't Been on Here In Ages.....

[starad]

Well, I just got home from Cabaret practice at Boomtown theatre. We are portraying actual Jacksonville History by reinacting the events that led up to the making of 5 points. My character is a reprensentation of 5 points. I'm sorta like Che' in Evita. Anyhow - I just found out tonight that we are doing the era of the early 90's in this show also - which to me is pretty cool considering I grew up being one of those Riverside / 5 point kids wearing vintage clothing from Repeat Performances & buying CD's from Now Hear This. It's exciting to me b/c I think other than the director Stephen Dare, I am the only one in the cast that remembers the scene b/c I grew up in it. How perfect & exciting that he wants me to represent the people of 5 points. The "kool kids" so to speak. I still have ALL of my old clothes that I bought from Edge City, Repeat Performances - etc from back then. Damn, if only I were still the size 2 I was back then, then I could bust that shit out & wear those teeny tiny Besty Johnsons making it more authentic - totally getting more into character.

Stephen just informed us that we all have to wear Doc Martins. YES!!!! I can't wait to wear those big ass clod hoppers w/ the black & white stripped tights I used to wear. I'm so glad I never threw that shit out. This is why an actress should never dispose of any clothing.

Now I have to bust out my "Welcome to the 90's" tapes to get back into the mood.

The method acting has begun....
