So for those who want to hear why I'm now and SCC/ Local theater ledgend keep reading...

If you want to be impressed keep reading...
SO! Opening night of Trojan Women was intresting.... haha so Lets start from the beginging
I'm Athena for the opening scene but I start out as a statue of her on stage. Fun stuff standing there for 20 minutes till you get to move, open your eyes, talk. Especailly when your wearing white face make up, "have no arms", and your costume is multiple layers and hot as hell. Well, had trouble at first went from trying 30 minutes to 20 thru rehearsing this process. And I had nailed this for 2 days prior to opening night and figure hell I'm gonna be fine. Well as I was getting ready I was eating as I normally do. Yum Quesodias from Don Paublo's left over from my mom's lunch there. Finished my make up with the look I'm a vandalized statue and got dressed and headed out on time. Well standing there I could tell who of my friends where in the audiance like Will and garrett and... well my mom lol and I start to get a little dizzy. So I'm thinking I'm just over heating like before and i need to relax my legs a little more. Well that doesn't seem to be helping and i try opening my eyes and staring strait ahead cuz it's helped before. And who of course is right there smiling at me my mom lol. Nice mom look at this I'm about to pass out. So I descided against the whole passing out thing because then i definetly would not be able to do my scene passed out. So i walk of stage to sit down take in some air and take a min and head back on. So this is when I realized my stomach was not happy with me. I kinda felt it before but though nothing of it. Maria our lead of the show said hey Tara stage manager just called places. Thinking ok thats good I can make it thru this I headed back out and went for it. No turrning back now I was going to do this scene. So Tyler who is my opposite the whole show startes his one page monolouge like one letter sized page, with taking one whole minute to stand up from his statue place because well he has arms and can lay down. Corey my BF is sound operator and at this point is freaking out and debating between coming down and helping me or motioning to tyler to hurry his monolouge up because he hasn't seen me almost passing out. As I go to deliver my first line I realize damn I'm about to frikin throw up. So I fight it off and say my first line "Posiden,.... Uncle may I speak with you" doing this of course countered any fighting off I had done before. So I turned my head away from the audiance threw up in my mouth swallowed it (yeah thats right ewww) and then it was time to say my next line. By this time Tyler knows something is not right and his eyes are about a mile wide so he throws the ball into my court and leaves the choice up to me what we do. second line." I would like to discuss something with you that is just as important to you as it is to me, will you join me. God what a fucking moith full. One more time, turn head throw up in mouth and swallow. So at this point the audinace knows something is wrong and Corey is not sure whats going on Rhonda our stage manager figures it out and then I think every one started freaking out. Ok third line coming up and I'm only worried about whether or not people can hear me and finishing this freaking scene I'm not skiping any thing at this point. Turn head, throw up, swallow most, miss some and sit a little on to my costume and very little on the floor. third line " I come on behalf of the city Troy the city you built and loved" I'm done trhowing up and this point I think and am trying to get my strength back and my volume up. Tyler looks lke he's about to shit him self but is still in characture some how and I can only imagine what Coery is thinking in the booth. The audiance is dead quiet. fourth line "If I promise that my plan will pleace you will you promise to help me" Tyler's eyes yeah I'm ready to fucking help you off stage why are you still here! Got my strenght back now and god damit if I can do that and keep going I'm finishing the freaking scene. We do so and my volume gets up and anger was good enough for a gril that just threw up a few times. Lights go down Tyler grabs my arm to walk me off stage like he always does again no arms thing sucks and he wispers "Are you alright?" I laugh and say "I don't think so" At this point I feel horibble because everyone is worried about me and the first few scenes seem a little shakey. This is my four and a half page quick change from face painted statue to soilder. Catlin and Lisa (Asst. SM and Dresser) are going nuts over me. I run into the bathroom knowing this stuff is coming out one way or another. My costume is striped off me and soilder costume waiting I wave Caltin and Lisa to leave me in the bathroom so I can expell this nastyness. Which takes a bit when people are freting over you (which thanks guys, I love you but I hate being freted over lol) After spending as much time on the toilet as possible while getting dressed I'm ready to wash my face and get out there. I throw on my helmet with out tightening the strap and grab my gun and run out just in time with Tyler. After one more bathroom sitting session after that scene I feel better and better all night till the point where I'm perfectly ok. At first I had though Elijah the little kid in out show had given me his stoumach flu but turns out twas the quesodias in the end. The small about of sour cream on top that i couldn't get off was heated in the microwave and we think thats what set me off lol. People in the audiance were all concerned after and really impressed. Corey couldn't believe I came on again yet alone did what I did. My mother felt horrible about the food. Will though I just spit on comand which was amusing because he was like didn't get why you did it but it was cool. Steve was hoping I would throw up durring his scene so he could say yes they make me sick too and in the end I impressed the hell out everyone including myself. I laughed so much that night because I couldn't believe I did that. The jokes now are many and night two went off with out a spit? lol and I am now a theater god lol. SO SOME SEE THE SHOW YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO GET! lol no I should be good I promise.
breathe deep seek peace
