Well It has been 11/21 since the last time I actually talked about my life so I wont even try to do a day by day thing.
As far as my little theatre run. Mousetrap is going great but we got a review that was a little weird. It wasn't a good review, it wasn't a bad review, it was a poorly written review. It was a review about everything but the show. The writer, apparently, has a history of doing this. His big mistake is the review the theatre and didn't really review the show. He spent two paragraphs an the fact that he thought the play should have been placed in 1952. WE SET THE PLAY IN 1952. We had a slight problem with the program. The script says it is placed in present day, but it was when the play was written. So I would understand why he was confused. One slight problem, we had period costumes, we had a period set, we had period music, we still make all the references to WWII, and period props. Trotter had period skis. WE WERE IN FUCKING PERIOD. So to the writer I say a phrase I say a lot, "PUT 2 and 2 together and DO THE FUCKING MATH!"
Enough ranting now on to the show: On stage I am very happy, spry gentlemen in a gigantic wig. The reviewer from above stated that "I should deserve a medal for simply appearing" in the wig but he found it distracting. As far as back stage goes I got two words for you COSTUME CHANGE. I have no doubt the biggest wardrobe in the show by far. This how it breaks down:
- 2 white button-up shirts (one for each night)
- brown pants
- black socks
- brown shoes
- red Jacket
- 8 Sweater vests of various types
- 9 Ties
- brown hat
- scarf
I have a costume changes every time I leave the stage. I will try to get pictures of me in costume. You bet your ass I will post them if I can. My run now starts on Friday and Saturday @ 8 (call @ 7), and Sunday @ 2 (call @ 1).
As far as other things in my life not much is going on. My credit card has been revoked from me until I pay off my debt to the bank. The only thing I can use that card on is gas and I must pay at the pump. Also I am now having to pay $75 of my weekly paycheck towards the bank, and 70 towards school which I appreciate. I am forced to use only $25 for the week on anything I would want to purchase. (including food and pop) As most people who know me I have soda going through my bloodstream. SO it has been kinda tough. Also I think she is driving me toward learning how to organize a checkbook. Frankly, my probation officer wasn't as nosy as this woman. I have to have receipts of everything I purchase and post it on a list for the week so she can check them and when my statement comes I have to go over them with her. When I mean "go over them", I mean I should have the past month remembered TO THE CENT or a loaded gun was pointed at me.
