Well, MCM was a smashing success, I suppose
THose who came absolutely loved it, thought we were hysterical, mangled lines, inuendo and all
I hope Dr. Ray and Shaw don't get irritable about the pageboy lines and Farris and Jessica's scene (possibly the riskiest, yet most amusing scene in SMS play history, even compared to A my name is Alice......but god, the audience erupted in laughter, everyone tolf me afterwards that they almost passed out from cackling)
My parents said my character was....'different'
baha. interesting way toput it
People I hardly know keep insisting that I make a good drunk
IDK how to take that, but I'm glad I finally pulled off Bernice
Some insiders and improv memories worth noting:
The broken martini glass: natalie got a little too into her characterm and actually shattered the martini glass, then missed her cue because steven ranted to her about it...it was funny, none the less
The missed blackout cue: that was scary as hell when our blackout didn't happen, I was fairly certain we'd screwed up, because Mary Fran and Sydney ended up singing the ENTIRE song through, and we ended up improving a few lines ('ummm that didn't feel right...LETS SING IT AGAIN!' "fine..." "okay, roger, again, from the top!")
until they cued our blackout
The missing gun: The gun got lost, so several lines became "well, if I HAD a gun.."
The End: the Helsa-female impersonator bit was entirely improvised in the first show, including lines like "I AM A MANNNN!" that the audience just ate up
Perkins: Natalie, Mary Fran, and the Perkins Pancake antics....the idea of breakfast fascinated us, and kept us going through the sucky second show audience.
Terri Shivo Photo:No Comment, except, ALL NATALIE'S IDEA, along with the dead baby and helen keller jokes
The Great American Melting Pot: God, memories from that racist, xenophobic faux-patriotic nightmare in schoolhouse rock. Somehow, I couldn't grasp the horror/humor in those lyrics back in fifth grade
Kallen and her lapelle: Just a funny quote, when I has straightening Kallen's tux before her entrance, she whispered "MAKE ME STRAIGHT" refering to her outfit of course, but in light of character was hilarious, and called from a unainimous "Honey, there isn't anything in this world that can do that..."
god, fun times.....I'm sorely tempted to launch into a cheesy, "the cast becomes your family!" speech, but I wouldn't dare do that.
SO until next time....

Blah.
So, I missed school today, after an afternoon of on/off migraines and falling asleep, I went home and crashed at 7 pm, WHILE studying chemistry
and woke up at 10, feels slightly better, but still pretty disoriented and headachey
oh yeah, and with about 9 hours of homework piled at the foot of my bed
so that screwed me over for school and rehearsal, now that Dr. Ray banned the 1/2 school day = rehearsal rule
So that pretty much sucks.
I'm supposed to use this space to talk about my passion (that was the assigned topic)
but I really should get back to that mountain of homework
so......tomorrow? thursday? friday?
who knows.
