Another Touring Actor…

On a Cross Country Journey

Another Day, another rehearsal March 19, 2008

Things are going well here in Philly… we had our first full dress rehearsal this morning and another one this afternoon. Costumes, props, full set- the whole thing. It went a lot better than I expected to be honest.

I went in early this morning just to work on my dances and our director, David, helped me once he saw me rehearsing. I think I am finally starting to get it. Slowly but surely I am starting to have it click in my head. All my lines are learned as well as my songs….. I just need to become confident in my dancing and my entrances and exits, then I will be happy.

The cast is getting along great, and we have a very good morale. I just hope it stays through the whole tour, we shall see. We also figured out we walk a mile to and from work each day, which is nice because I have been eating way to much junk over the last 5 days.

Anyway, I am off to bed so I can get back to the studio early again to work more on dances. Please leave comments and love. I miss you.

Love ~me

hilly can be a great city, but I have noticed how mean people are. The clerk at the Wawa, the drivers on the road, the people in Rite Aid…..

Have people ever heard of “excuse me?”

That’s the frustration I have. I say please and thank you, sir and ma’am. There is nothing difficult about those words.

Love~ me

We blocked the 2nd half of the show today. It’s great and it sucks all that the same time. I am still not a dancer and DAvid, our director, LOVES choreography. There is nothing wrong with that, it just takes me longer to pick up – that’s all. David had been very kind though- he offers to change things if they are too difficult, but i have told him I will learn it no matter what…. and he is holding to that. I figure, if I need to learn to dance it might as well be on a show I am in for two months.

On another note… I met up with Clyde tonight and had dinner and drinks (in h
