So I guess I should tell you what show I’m in right now since it’s Closing day. I’m doing Into the Woods with Quest Theatre Ensemble. I play Lucinda, the misunderstood, supermodel wannabe, evil step-sister. And I get to wear THIS wig.
I’m ready to burn it. Seriously. It’s probably the most uncomfortable costume I’ve ever worn, you should see the chafe marks, but it IS hilarious.
Closing nights are funny things. You normally are either completely over the show and ready to be done with it, or a little sad. I, personally, am usually ready to move onto a new project. It comes from my nomadic chilldhood. We moved every year or so until I was 16. I like change and I get bored fairly easily. I would have to say in this case I am ready to move on. I’ve had an absolute blast with this fun (and young) cast, but this definitely isn’t the most challenging role I’ve ever played and I’m ready to try something new.
In every show you get close with some people in the cast. There are some that you know you’ll work with again. There are some that you know you won’t. There are some that have become REAL friends like THIS one.
Love him. Love his heart and love his temperament.
The cool thing about theater is that you get to be all kinds of different people. Every show I’ve ever done has taught me something new or let me explore something new. In this show I got to be COMPLETELY obnoxious and I got to experiment with physical comedy, which I had never done before. So, all in all, I had a blast and I will miss the PEOPLE.
So I’m off to do my FINAL show! Farewell and Following seas Into the Woods!
