Well it's the last day of the month, I guess I should post, or at least get rid of that depressing previous journal.
The first weekend of Take Me Out went well. The show's been very well received. It's a great part and I'm really lucky to be playing it. There are some parts of the show that I wish could be improved or tightened, but overall it's a good production, if I do say so myself.
Not so subtle hint:
There is one more weekend left of the show. It would be awesome to see some SG faces there.
Rehearsals have begun in earnest for Romeo and Juliet. I always seem to begin another show before the last one is closed. It keeps me busy I guess. I'm really excited for this show, even though I reluctantly refrained from casting myself as Mercutio. (One of my dream roles) I swear I could have done the part, but putting my ego aside I realized I really need to concentrate on directing the show. However I did assign myself as Mercutio's understudy, so there is a small chance I might perform the role. I'm not wishing for it though.
My cast is excellent. I think this is the strongest cast I've had in all my time directing for Montford Park. I've been excited for this show ever since auditions. I'm not implying there's no hard work to be done, but I feel really relaxed about this show.
That being said, I've began to consider taking an extended hiatus from theatre. I love it but I'm really tired of trying to convince my peers that I'm good at it, especially acting. There are groups of my peers that I feel know what I'm capable of, but I'm tired of trying to convince all the other people that I don't work with often that I'm worthy of taking a chance on. I'm sick of taking parts where I feel my talents are being wasted, or going to shows where I know I could have done just as good, if not better than the people who were cast. It's sad because I love acting above anything else I do, but I'd rather not do it than constantly try to figure out why I'm not getting these parts, constantly doubting myself.
Without theatre my life would be pretty boring though.
Finally, some crackhead stole my camera out of my car last week. It not so much loosing the camera that bums me out, but the fact that I had undeveloped film both in the camera and the bag that I'll never be able to replace. Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to give away my camera, but I really wish I had the film more than the camera.
Isn't that strange?
Have a revolutionary May Day my comrades.

Kate had her camera stolen out of my car by a crackhead. Effing druggies.
Hope you're well. Call me sometime! Oh, and check out my new business, Vee Tea.
Later!

...and add a new depressing journal!
j/k.
dude, I'm not sure what to tell you on this one. I'd say smack some people, but that's not really sage advice. Maybe get the folks who know your skills to pass on the word to those who don't? Stage some guerrilla acting for their enlightenment?
sucks about the film, too.
