So, guess what? I SUCCESSFULLY managed to be 95% "private in public" for my final Acting Technique exercise. And, I say "95%" because I don't think ANYONE can block 15 people intently staring at them in their underwear out of their minds completely. Anyways, I did my tasks (applying make-up, tweezing my eyebrows, eating my Cliff Bar and stapling my resumes to my headshots) and then did my final "essence of privacy" task, which was rehearsing my Cabaret song in my underwear and character heels. Besides getting a bit of the famous "Brooke Dillon Red Splotchy Chest Rash" (I blame the heat and the general uncomfortableness of the exercise), I fared well! Our instructor seemed to be quite pleased, which was great and I was pretty happy with myself for stepping so far outside my comfort limit.
FOLLIES!
On Sunday, my friends Chelsea, Lexie and I attended the opening preview for "Follies" on Broadway. We had 4th row seats and the show was amazing!!
And... because we're geeks, we got Follies souvenir glasses.....
I also was able to get Mary Beth Peil and Bernadette Peters' autographs on my Playbill. I would've liked to have gotten a few more, but the linebacker in front of us wouldn't budge.... even when we tried to win him over by batting our lashes..... jerk.
Mary Beth Peil - she's also on "The Good Wife"
The legendary Bernadette Peters
And, speaking of shows..... our CABARET is tomorrow!!!!
My 14 fellow talented classmates and I will be performing on a legitimate Broadway stage.
YAY.
Of course, that also means we are nearing the end of our summer together. Friday is our last day of classes :(
Good thing we've got one HELL of a "graduation" party to look forward to on Friday night.
xoxo,
B
