Vanessa and I discovered that we both eat Twix/Milk Ways the same way.
"Great minds think alike" I very much like knowing I'm not the only one who thinks it makes sense.
Anywho-
Today, I realized something. Nothing huge, or anything that wasn't obvious before (if you're not up for a theater rant quite reading now, and return to your television. If you don't have a televisions...Keep reading but only because you have no soul.) In ANNE FRANK it was....There was this feeling of having to have my hands on everything, and every conversation that went on, and every single time someone talked about props, and set, and this, and that I had a serious feeling that I should be paying very close attention. It was like...Thinking that in order to do my job correctly I needed to know everything. Because this play was ANNE FRANK and all eyes would be on my character I felt...Like...I could only enjoy things to a certain extent until I had to get back to business-so to speak. I don't mind this, and I certainly didn't at the time, as it is obvious that I enjoyed every minute of the show/run, and with the cast. It just seemed that it was so much more than a show, it was this a whole huge THING (can't.Think. Of a. Better. Word.) that had so many...And because it was my first HUGE role I needed to make sure that everything went okay, and that if someone were to ask me if I knew about this or that I would be able to answer. That it was my job, as an actress, to...Ugh. Well you get where I'm going with this.
Tonight, at SHREW rehearsal, Liouse was talking about something or other that had to do with props, and for a second I stopped to listen-And then it occurred to me...Who gives?!?! It, whatever she's talking about, has nothing to do with me, and if it does it will be taken care of by someone else! It's not my job to take care of everything in this show. I don't have to. SO I went to the lobby and had a twix. Later was joined by Joey, Loiue, Elex, and Vanessa.
I did so much like having ANNE (the role I mean) and I did so much like being a big character, so to speak, and don't get me wrong at all that type of thing is great! But it's also nice to be able to be in a show...Just for the sake of being in a show. No added pressure, no extra responsibility. Just be an actress. Take care of my character, and having an amazing time doing it.
I am so glad I decided to do this show.
Joey and I sat down and talked about how we were going to go about doing our Kiss. Still no sure decision. We'll figure something out.
Fred is terribly sick and has missed another rehearsal. (We send love Fred.)
I love Joey and Loiue. Just the best ever. And our 10 straight minutes of having to bitch about Latin and Italian, and our sudden transitions form language to language.

It's not at all that I didn't enjoy ANNE. I did. OH my gosh, I did so much. But...I am also really enjoying this show, only in a completely different way.
It's nothing profound that I've stumbled across. No deep thought that wasn't obvious to the rest of the human race. Only something I noticed.
But i'd like to let you know that I am having a wonderful time in my current show.
