So it's been a week since my last entry but here I am, having conquered Showcase Day. It was an early start, a nervous day overall, sneaking up and down stone stairs to get backstage but damn, I never could have asked to have been in a better society. It was slow going in the 'green room', especially when I felt I was doing terribly with every run through. Only after psyching myself up and getting tired and pissed off could I channel my inner bitch. So after some McDonald's and further waiting, I was onstage and giving it my all like never before. My only problem was when I panicked because I thought my chair which I was supposed to be taking off stage was missing. Fellow actor and director Alastair had to come calm me down and hug me backstage. Was such an emotional moment.
But everyone else in my cast did so well.
After it was all over, he ordered a group hug which I can never get enough of. While waiting for the call to come onstage for our bow, a few of the people in my play who had feathers were pulling them out and letting them float down the stairwell backstage. Never seen anyone so excited to catch a feather in complete silence! But once bows were out of the way, it was on to the afterparty which I got pretty drunk at because I hadn't eaten since 4....
Oh well, im home and ready for sleep now.
Until next time
