  • Fortunately, Bill came in last night, and I did not have to jump on stage. I was ready to go, but any extra time to continue memorizing my lines are definitely appreciated. The show looks good to go, and we went through complete dress rehearsal with live guns and everything. It was a beautiful sight. Also, it felt so good to have an audience, especially one that goes along with what's happening on stage.


    Bill made a poignant observation yesterday. He said, "People don't want to see reality on the stage." I questioned him about that, and he said that anyone can go to a public area and find something or someone interesting to observe and that everyday life is entertaining. He continued on saying that on the stage, what people perform better be as entertaining if not better. It makes sense. Why would people pay money to watch everyday life? Of course, a person can go too far and way over the top. As always, finding that happy medium is the key.
