Being my incredibly artsier-than-thou self, I am in a musical. We had our first read-through today. It was quite fabulous. Everyone seemed to have a different way of reading things. Here are some examples:
- The Captain: the one who the director is in love with. The Captain makes a show about planning not to audition and the director follows him around on his knees. He reads everything slowly and dramatically. So dramatically, in fact, that there's an odd sense of finality when his lines are done and everyone sits there... speechless.
- The Musician: the one who isn't the best at acting, but joined the musical for the music part. She has trouble making her lines sound real, but she has a super awesome punk ballad in the second act, so everyone's okay with it. Every day she walks into the rehearsal room singing, air-drums when she has no lines, and air-guitars on her way out.
- The Sass-Mongerer: the one who decided to have fun with her part. She makes her lines so unbearably sassy that we can't help but love it. She always seems to make someone awkwardly laugh for an awkward amount of time, but it's okay because she's just so hilarious and sassadelic.
It's quite a lot of fun being surrounded by people who don't play sports.
Love,
Starshine.
