I'm in a show, m*th*rf**k*r!
Regarding the subject line, I have no idea why this video is so funny, but it just is.
Now, I realize most of the locals already know about the show, but a lot of you may not know that *I* am in it. So yeah, I'm in a show. It's the Theatre@First one-acts festival which this year is all Shakespeare-related. Mine is based on a particular scene in Hamlet and I play mama Gertrude, Queen of Denmark.
The show is probably most enjoyable if you have some familiarity with Shakespeare (Hamlet in particular, as three of the one-acts are based on it), but that is not necessary. Besides the comedic stylings of myself, barumonkey, Kathryn, and Lev in a world premiere (written for us!) by Mark Harvey Levine and directed by plumtreeblossom, there are other shows that range from the serious to the silly to the very silly. Murder, mayhem, monsters, and muppets! What more could you ask for?
I'm feeling kinda nervous due to some last-minute snags and other issues, so if you come see the show, be sure to say something nice to me after. (You can lie as long as it's done believably.) I know not everyone can make it (or even wants to), but for those that do, I really appreciate the support.

And speaking of performing, I must provide a link to one of the best things I've seen in a while: Jewel, disguised as a mild-mannered businesswomen, shows up at a karaoke bar to sing her own stuff. Funny and heartwarming. (DD and I were just talking the other night about stars and attitudes, and Jewel came up as someone who comes across as really down to earth. This underscores that, too.)
