Dress Rehearsals

Posted by at Jan 29, 2013 6:00 am

As you all probably know, I’m a theater nut. I’m involved in another production right now, THE WOMEN, which is an old show starring a bunch of catty women zinging each other with one-liners. I have some of the zingiest, so that’s lots of fun!

 

My youngest daughter is in the show with me, and several of my good friends are also doing it, so it’s been a great experience. We’re in Tech Week right now, which means loooooong rehearsals while light and sound cues are set and scene changes are worked out. Plus of course we’re adding costumes, then hair and makeup. I am lucky enough to be playing a very “modern” woman–a world-traveling, successful, snarky writer–SNORT! (Daughter says I was typecast. However, my heroine is a “virgin”…actually, she’s a lesbian but she can’t very well say that to a bunch of high-society 1936 rich witches.)

 

I haven’t got any pictures right now, but will definitely bring my camera to the final dress and try to get some shots. In one scene I’m in a sailor suit, in another a very mannish traveling suit complete with Fedora and tie! (That’s the day my character is leaving for Africa to go big game hunting!)

Wish me…to break a leg.  :angel:

    I saw a production of this and it’s a wonderful story. It’s also a movie that starred Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Bette Midler, Eva Mendes and an all star cast of women! Good luck, I’m sure you’ll be great!

    I have seen a couple of the movie versions on this and I loved them both. So ‘Break a Leg’.. . I know you will be wonderful in your production.

    I’ve read several good stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much effort you place to make this sort of great informative site.

    Eva Mendes appeared in Will Smith’s video “Miami” and the Pet Shop Boys’ music video for “Se a vida é (That’s the way life is)” in 1996 and Aerosmith’s video “Hole in My Soul” in 1997. She also appeared in the video for The End Has No End by The Strokes in 2004. *”

    Good day
