Forever Plaid is going to have to wait. I'll keep listening to the music and trying to get my part, but the rest of life is kicking my butt right now. We got together and watched the movie archive of the stage show. It was really great. I see that this is a huge undertaking for folks with day-jobs.
*sigh*
We've had three rehearsals for "Nevermore". I have a problem- I'm not giving the director what he needs for the part of Dudley. I'm just not sure I'm good enough (or have enough spare focus) to react to the changes he's making. Dudley is one of the most subtle characters I've gotten to play. Well, I wanted to be challenged! Be careful what you wish for. My vision of the show does not match the director's, and it must be his vision that prevails. It's his show...he's the director... that's the way it should be. I just hope I'm good enough and flexible enough to get the job done. I won't give anything away here, so just stop it. No...stop asking... I won't tell you.
My day job is also demanding more and more of my attention, as it should. As always, I have spread myself too thin. It's like peanut butter on a piece of bread: too thin and there's no taste left- just bread.
*sigh part II*
I will "endeavor to persevere". Those things kicking my ass right now shall in their turn have their asses kicked by me. I will prevail! (cue heroic music)
