Basically, to be an actor you need to have either a lot of stamina or just excess amounts of hours to sleep, both of which I have none of. But it is so much fun and I do love doing it with all of my heart. Plus, doing the show gives me an opportunity to spend time with people I love, and that rocks.
Right now I am performing 12th Night with my University. We just relaunched it at a new venue and everyone is already ready for it to just be over. I am playing the part of Sebastian, and before you go back to reread that sentence, Yes. I am playing a boy. As a boy. Not as a girl playing a boy, but on stage I am a boy. Some people's brains explode at this point, but just trust me. In real life, I am very much a girl, but on stage, to the audience, I am a boy.
I'm not going to say I play the part very well, but it really has stretched me and I have learned a butt load doing it. If you don't know what 12th Night is, Google it, because I'm sick of explaining a show that everyone should already know. :)
Until the next weak attempt to blog, I wish you every happiness in the form of gumdrops, rainbows, and ponies.
