Anyway...I'm in this play. At Civic Theatre of Allentown. And you all must come, not just because it is only $10 (cash only, at the door) but also because I am fictitiously homicidal, possibly schizophrenic, and most definitely really loud and out of control (in the show.... maybe in real life, too, that's up for debate).
To elaborate on the subject at hand, this play is definitely one of the biggest challenges in my acting career. It's strange -- the character is so much like me, but she is a very magnified and extroverted version of many personality flaws that I keep internal. I have to yell/scream/cry so much, I come home with a raging headache nightly. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, actually, it's very therapeutic. I am undoubtedly learning so much, about myself and acting. The other night, my nosebleed could probably be partially due to all of this intensity, yelling, etc. It's so physically and mentally taxing running through this show nightly, but so amazing at the same time. I come home every night physically shaking (with adrenaline), while simultaneously being drained of all emotion and energy.
Come see it!
