Well folks...I finally did it. I took the plunge and jumped back into the theater. I auditioned for our community theater's performance of The Rocky Horror Show in August...and voila! I got the part of Janet! I was shocked. Having not participated in any acting or singing in 14 years, I was very rusty...but clearly I wasn't too rusty to score a lead role! Wow! It was such a whirlwind of fun, frustration, hard work, and a lot of goofing around! We had a fabulous cast, and I mean fabulous. Not a single person acted as a PreMadonna- which never happens with a cast as large as ours. I truly enjoyed getting to know each person who was a part of this fabulous show. We ran 8 nights and sold out every night, but the opening! And that was only shy of 5 seats! Daniel came for dress rehearsal as well as closing night. Mom and Jaime were here for the opening night and I had soooo many friendly faces in the crowd! I felt extremely special every night I saw faces I recognized in the crowd. With the prop bags and the participation of the crowd...the cast was jazzed every night!
I cannot wait to be involved in the next show...A music review of Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Caberet, Chess, and Starlight Express! That will be in March of 2013, so pencil it in on your calendar now!
