Rehearsal Here, Rehearsal There
The past few weeks have flown by! The Distance from Here officially closed last night, Saturday, March 3. We finished striking everything today by 8 p.m. and I can say I'm glad it's finished. It was a great show and I met lots of cool new people by working on it. I gained newfound respect for techies and know that I am meant to be an actor. Tech people are way cooler than I am! Even people I had hesitation about at first I have grown to like. It's nice when that happens. But I did enjoy myself while it ran and learned many new things. Job well done (besides the lights freaking out on me - NOT MY FAULT!!).
We've began rehearsals for The Lab: An Experiment in Grand Guignol. Lindsey Snyder and Kris Messer are possibly the two coolest people on earth! Their ideas and concepts for this show are going to make it kick-ass. It will be the best Off-Center so far! I can say with certainty that it will be the best Off-Center of the 2006-2007 school year, having been in them all so far. I'm very glad to be a part of this amazing effort and know the audience will love it! Lindsey and Kris have produced a wonderful script in which they've mixed the original Grand Guignol The Lab script with Sci-Fi type alien interludes. They're staging it in a very over-the-top, non-realism way. Realism is the enemy! as they say. So there won't be too much mental work with the script, but loads of physical work - something I NEED to work on. So this project will be great for me. Possibly the best thing about this show - and definitely the money maker - will be the effects! Grand Guignol prides itself on its life-like horrific, shock effects. The blood will be spurting! And better yet: the audience will get a taste! The audience will surroung the playing area on three sides and, due to the proximity, will be hit with the gorey mess!!! Just like Evil Dead: The Musical except better. So if you're in the D.C. metro area: COME AND SEE THIS SHOW! It will be great! I'm very glad to be a part of it.
I also have rehearsal for The 70 tomorrow: the paying show I'm involved with downtown. My role is relatively easy and the show seems like it's going to be rather big. So that's a great combination. I should get some nice exposure with this piece. The producers sent out an e-mail today saying that Playbill may be doing our programs! Me in a Playbill! That would be amazing! Let's hope that works out. Meanwhile we'll be rehearsing for our world premier in May. I'm not sure which theatre we perform at first, but I do know it will play at the Lincoln Theatre, Atlas Performing Arts Center, GWU's campus, and as part of the Hip Hop Theatre Festival. This will be a fun ride! I'll keep you posted about this.
Now I have to go do some monologue work for Acting 220 and get started on reading The Rover for THET113. I'm living the life now.
