Well, I can say that if I found a moment breath in these past few days, it was one of very few. This whole week as been pretty insane. After spending the weekend with my friend Sasha for Easter break, I headed back to school early for work and the first of many long run through rehearsals. Joyful Noise is coming along very well. It seems so crazy that we open tomorrow night! It has gone so fast! We have added everything from elaborate lacy costumes to lemon snapple iced teas for my tea scenes. As each rehearsal goes by, things just continue to come together and look better than the night before. We have a preview tonight so that we can rehearse with an audience (just to get ourselves in the zone). Mrs. Pendarves continues to get more eccentric by the night, played by yours truly. It can only get better.
Every time we're in the dressing room getting hair, make-up, and costumes on, our lovely production staff keeps saying they wished they lived in the time of corsets and lace. But of course, Hannah, Kelsie and I are thinking "you wouldn't be saying that if you had to wear a corset for the past two months (or in my case, two corsets). But I think it is going to be a great run. The story is so fascinating, and has an excellent message to it. We've even been asked to perform a specific scene in chapel the Monday after we close! Well, who knows...I have had some great experiences and made a great group of friends these past several weeks. I forgot how much I missed being a part of theatre. Who know? Maybe I'll try out for another one sometime...I appear to have broken the norm for Gordon College. No varsity athlete has ever done theatre before, but I'm starting a trend, and after seeing the show, Coach was ready to set me up on a date with one of his basketball players! Weird...
