Live Under a Stage

The following post is approved by Bathtime Maeby:



I didn't realize that on Sunday morning while we were rehearsing for the play at The Next Stage, which is where it is going to be performed, that there were three homeless men sleeping under the stage the entire time. One of the producers, Jeff Hirbour, went under the stage for some unknown reason and saw them all sleeping down there and after discussing it with Jeff Morris, the director, (I know, too many Jeffs in my life) they decided not to tell the cast which was probably a wise decision. They told me last night while at rehearsal and it's one of those horrifying, hilarious ocurrences in life that says so much of one's current state. I mean, I'm guessing shit like that don't happen at the Ahmanson or at the Disney Concert Hall. I love it.

I think I might actually know all my lines! I mean, it's not like I was mocked by a six year old because I still hadn't learned my lines after having my script after a month when she had her script for a week and had learned all her lines for her play "I Look Ridiculous" opening next week at St. Matthew's Elementary School. Le sigh.

Audition tomorrow for a Verizon Commercial. I feel like I have been to this casting director at least three times and each time I go they tell me I am too white to play a hispanic girl. Let's see if it happens tomorrow. Only good sign is that this is the third time I have auditioned for Verizon, who really seems to like me, the other two times I have auditioned for them I have gotten callbacks and avails. Fingers crossed. I'm broke as shit.

I think i forgot to mention that on Saturday Checkmate was screened and I think it was well received. It looked really great and I can't wait to get a copy. It was very fun to be able to go to the screening and see people's reactions. Definitely weird to see my 8 foot face. It's really unnatural and probably goes against the natural order of things and will in some way make me slowly start to go insane from the complete unnaturalness of it. Maybe that's why all actors are crazy. We are doing something inherently contrary to nature by being so overly conscious of ourselves and being able to watch ourselves. Barf.










peace.
