Citadel Theatre

Yesterday was the big premiere. I was on stage at the Maclab in front of people I know. People with blogs! wrote a review in hers. also wrote about the experience. Lana was there as well with a friend, but it remains to be seen if she mentions the experience.
I had fun. But let me comment on the three plays I was in.
The first “Eye to Eye” could have gone better. The background music was too loud and the principal actors spoke too softly. And they mixed up their lines. I was the waiter in the scene. Since I had such short stage time I memorized my lines between the brief moments I was onstage. In practice that worked. I thought I had more time at one point, but since the lines got mixed up, a large chunk of the play was missed, and I didn’t hear my cue. Then the other actors started asking for a pen, a prop they have never mentioned before in any of the rehearsals.
All in all, that could have gone better.
“The Interrogation” was my showpiece. I was on stage the entire time, and I think I did well. I mixed up only one line, and the actress didn’t even notice, so I’m pretty sure the audience didn’t. The bigger problem I found was that I had forgotten to take off my waiter’s apron between the plays. I don’t know if anyone noticed since I was sitting most of the time.
The final play, “Now we’re getting somewhere” went well. I got all my lines right, and I was a properly smarmy sales-schmuck. I was getting pretty thirsty by that one, so I was jealous of the actress who had to chug an entire can of pop.
Go read other people’s blogs for better reviews.
I was really wired after, so I didn’t get to sleep until much too late. And I haven’t recovered from the 29km on Sunday, so the run today was not pleasant.
