Being Sally Bowles.
So as many of you know the ACTS spring HS show this year is "Cabaret." Thus far, the rehearsal process has been smooth sailing, compared to the normal ACTS scene. If you don't know of what I speak, let me refresh your memory. Let's go back to Once on this Island, '04. The director had a nervous break down bc she never showeed up at rehearsals and she thought the cast hated her... so she quit... and then asked to come back. The music director was even more insane. Oh BobKimDog... how she tortured us with her heavy asian accent when she couldn't get us to pronounce "the peasants" as "the pegeants" and was convinced that "the gods" were only a singular deity, "the god". How about that time that we almost made cute sophomore Lenni cry bc walked out halfway thru "Ti Moune's Dance". Anyway.
How about Into the Woods, '05 when MTI pulled our rights a month before the show and told us we couldn't do ACT 2 bc New Rep wanted to extend their run. yeah.
So far, no pulled rights.... and no insane directors.... well Jerry, but he's just smelly and harmless.
So right now my biggest problem is that IM overwhelmed with my role in this show. usually it is everything else that is overwhelming.... but honestly. I just dont think I can do Sally the justice she deserves. I mean like yes I'm capable of wearing a corset, fishnets, and a gartbelts and dancing around seductively.... and I sing the role pretty well. But acting wise.... I know I could do a mediocre job with it and ppl would think i was good.... but thats not satisfying... theres so much to learn about sally... who is? her past? her future? A story I need to write.... but havent been able too bc I don't even know where to start with her.... ehh. Well i still have over a month to perfect it.... but bc this a dream role, i want it to be the best ive ever been in a role.... i want to become sally.... in a non-coke-snorting-sex-addict-abused-woman-attracted-to-homosexuals sort of way.
phew okay im done.
