While you will all (hopefully) be kicking up your heels and relaxing this weekend, I will be kicking off intensive rehearsals for an annual summer theatrical event: The Baltimore/D.C. Playwright's Festival.
Aye, the girl is a drama queen wannabe thespian.
Oh, and please don't tell me to break a leg, because I just might, "graceful" as I am!
Damn! OK...I wish you well. :)
i think I need to hook you up with a friend in Baltimore who's also into the thespian thing...:-) Check out the Mr. L-K link on my blogroll
I've only done theater a handful of times, but I really enjoyed it.
I prefer the Ballet when performing. I adore dancing and, much like you, I would get terrible stage fright prior to stepping on stage. Somehow, I always managed to perform my dances without screwing up and making a fool of myself.
Man I miss those days!
ok, then merde - that's the ballet version of 'break a leg'.
Don't whistle in the theatre. (They used to use sailors for running the fly galleries - you might get a pipe dropped on your head).
No hats on beds (I don't know why)
Don't mention the name of the Scottish play (or if you do, you have to go outside, turn around 3 times and knock & ask permission to come back in).
I used to be in the biz myself - as an amateur actor and as a professional tech/stage manager. I miss it fiercely sometimes. However, I like the new income levels I have in the high tech world.
Thespian. Woah. Is that how you spell it? I thought is was spelled more like lesbian, with a "b." Hooked of Phonix worked for me! =)
No really, Good Luck! =)
I used to be in an impromptu skit group, in college. It was fun! There was always a huge rush right before going on stage!
