There are Reasons They Serve Wine at Community Theatre

I should probably wait until the morning to post about tonight's super duper performance of Death of a Salesman starring Andy W******* ....

Ok, I waited ten minutes. Still sitting at the computer. I should really just go to bed right now. Unfortunately, they served wine at the show. And, the wine was $3 a glass. And, there were two 15 minute intermissions. And...well...honestly I'm pretty sure the wine was there for only one reason. There might as well have been a sign on the table that said, "Hey! Congrats for surviving for the previous Act. Have a glass of cheap shitty wine to help you forget about the fact you are stuck here for another few hours." 


Sorry. I'm being a bitch. Don't judge me. You weren't there.

I'm all about acting. Hell, I'm an actress myself. I have an incredible amount of respect for the people who put themselves out there and get up in front of people. Honestly. I wish I could do it. But tonight, I don't know what was harder, not laughing at the ridiculous facial expressions of the level of overacting I cannot do justice to, or staying awake.

This is the wine talking. I swear. Sorry to cut this rant short, but Brad is calling me and I'd rather spend the next ten minutes playing a sappy game of I wish we were roommates so that we could be cuddling right now (followed by me convincing myself that it is a good idea to tell him that I can't stop thinking about how fucking hot he looks naked,) than I would waste another minute thinking about the mess of a play I just witnessed. Ahhh wine, I swear. It's the wine.

Acting in the Shower

Andy: I just really want to move to LA to be an actor. I'm so passionate about it.

Me: That's cool. Do you have a lot of acting experience?

Andy: I was in this really cool show in college.

Me: What show?

Andy: Just a little show.

Me: That's cool, what show was it?

Andy: I don't remember the name of it actually. It was like this thing that everyone had to do. It was a mandatory thing for all students.

Me: Ooooh. Did people come watch it?

Andy: Well, like the other people in the class.

Me: Mmhmm. So, are you good at acting??

Andy: Yeah, I mean if I can get over my stage fright of doing it in front of people. I'm really good when it's just me. Like when I'm in the shower and stuff.

Me: You're definitely ready for LA.

Going to see Andy in a play tonight. We had this conversation a few weeks ago, right before I told him maybe he should try it out in front of an actual audience before making the move to Cali. It's going to be hard to take him seriously while picturing him doing a dramatic shower rehearsal. I hope I don't start laughing mid-show.
