Ah, at last. Actors. Don't ya love 'em? ... stare
So, my most recent role is Aysha in Children of Eden by Stephen Schwartz. Rehearsals have been underway for about three weeks now...and we're making progress. Kinda.
It's all these blasted harmonies (it's a musical, by the way). I can get 'em if I work at 'em, of course. But we're a community theatre in a 30,000 people town. Our talent pool is awfully shallow. So as an ensemble, we're sort of suffering.
But you know what? Now that I think about it, I'm probably just being pessimistic. We're all right. Heh! 4laugh
We have WAY too many sopranos, though. And one of them's a wannabe pop star solo artist! Don't you just hate that? With all that scooping and sliding and nasal-ness. Drives me nuts. (Not that I hate sopranos or anything... My sister's a soprano.)
But our cast is sort of crumbling in numbers. We've had NINE people drop out or be forced to quit already! Make it stop. It's especially hard on us altos. We only have, like, six left. crying
Anyway, that's enough of that. Aysha in Children of Eden. That's all I wanted to say. biggrin
