A LITTLE MORE EXPOSITION...

a little about my daily life.

rehearsal is 10-6 (but they reserve to work us 10 hours a day), 6 days a week, for 4 weeks. then we're gunna hit the road.

the rehearsal space is on the top floor of the Masonic Hall in the Dorchester area of boston, ma. the rehearsal space is a turn of the century building, with a BEAUTIFUL old iron elevator, that sadly, fell into disrepair, so we have to hike our asses up 4 flights of double stairs (8 flights of stairs for those who are keeping track). that'll wake you up in the morning!


i'm lucky that i live a block away from the space, so that although there's nothing to do socially in the area, alls i gotta do in the morning is roll out of bed at 9am, brush the toofies, slap some makeup on my mug, and i can be at rehearsal by 9:20am...where i finish waking up, get my minimum 2 mugs of coffee, stretch, and warm up vocally all before 10am.

now you fellow actors, and especially those of you from NC State's theater program, should appreciate this next bit. the space we use is huge!! it's the entire top floor of the building. yes, it's getting run down, and we can't drink the water because of the old lead pipes, but it's beautiful. it reminds me very much of thompson theater...if the masons had built it. :)



also, i really geeked out with the book "the davinci code" so i've been looking for the hidden symbolism all over the building!! (this window is a skylight...oooh! i wonder what it REALLY means?!)

the main rehearsal room was once a ballroom...then converted to a basketball court...now a dusty rehearsal studio. but very cool.








NOW FOR SOME RANDOMNESS~

everyone in the cast has beautiful eyes...and all blue...so we've deemed ourselves "the Aryan Tour" and the phrase "hiel Chamber!" has been used on more than one occasion.
(good to know we all have a really screwed up sense of humor)







in children's-theater theater, the more wholesome the show, the more perverted the cast is...our group is no exception...i have documented proof;
