I'm currently in the production of Pride and Prejudice as Jane Bennet. Yay! It's been super fun so far with all of the joking around, inside jokes from other plays (like how my sister, both in the play and in real life, ends up marrying my husband, George Gibbs from Our Town but Mr. Darcy in P&P), and other assorted play-related shenanigans. I couldn't ask for a better acting group. I really couldn't. We're all so at ease and play practices are always an adventure.
Acting is so. much. fun. I guess it's the ability to go on stage and play another character. Or play someone who is completely yourself and being able to relate with the characters on a more personal level. I love improv, too. Which is another of the play group (aka Code Name Drama)'s specialty.
Earlier this month (or maybe last month, I honestly can't remember), we went to see Pride and Prejudice the Musical. It wasn't my favorite, but it was absolutely hilarious. Afterwards, we seriously considered asking the actors/actresses to join us in a game of "freeze". That reason right there is why I love CND. So, here's to many more plays, musicals, disruptive play practices in the library, crazy schedules, and weeks of mourning after the last performance (The cast party at Denny's after Our Town was rough. Wow).
^^^^ Our Town flier from last April
Wow, how time flies.
Well, back to making fondant dinosaurs (I'll post a picture once they're complete)!
Live long and prosper. And remember: The whole world is a stage! If you're lucky, you may be able to spot the tech crew changing scenes every now and then.
