Second Night

The director said, “don’t get complacent”. Ha!  That is not even a possibility.  I honestly feel more pressure from positive feedback than negative – only one way to go…

So here we are, second night.  Kirstin, George and I have our pre-show meal and enjoy what is sure to become a ritual, George’s soon to be famous “Ginger, Lemon and Honey Tea” for our voices. Voice and body warm-ups follow – we are ready.

We get to the venue to discover it is almost a sell-out.  How did that happen?  I guess sex really does sell!

Scene 4 – damn, messed up a line…Quick fix and we’re ok.

Scene 5 – lights are up too early.  Kirstin is on stage without me.  First line has to be quickly revised to make sense.  Argh!

And then…applause.  Audience doesn’t notice/care.  They enjoyed it.

I honestly can’t remember a time when I felt this happy, this fulfilled.  I can’t wait for Monday and the start of the official 3 week run.

Until then x
