I had a rehearsal today for my in-class scene from Proof. I thought I had the scene DOWN but alas, the lines flew rapidly from my head as soon as the action started. Ugh. I love theater, but oh improv! No lines! Most people I know who act say, "Wow, not knowing what to say would scare me!" Yeah. But in improv they're not waiting for you to say a specific thing to get to the next plot advancement. It's pure process! I love theater, love love love it, but oh the memorization! I finally got through a pile of clothing in need of repair this evening, though. So at least I feel as though I have accomplished some good. Yay!

The woes of legitimate theater
I had a rehearsal today for my in-class scene from Proof. I thought I had the scene DOWN but alas, the lines flew rapidly from my head as soon as the action started. Ugh.
