Post rehearsal ramblings

I'm teetering on the edge of Tech Week, but found myself with more time than I'm used to having this week, and so enjoyed (??) digging myself out from under some piles in the office and getting the house into a vaguely presentable shape. I spent some time curled up in a chair with a mug of tea, a cat, and a new bible study. I played games and even the dreaded Polly Pockets with MQ. Next week will be a rush of long and exhausting rehearsals as we add in the enormous sets and costumes, pyrotechnics, orchestra, etc, etc. I get to be a red head courtesy of a wig, so that will be fun, although wigs are very hot and itchy, in case you were ever wondering. The first time I ever had to wear a wig for a show I was all excited that I wouldn't have to do my hair every night. I got over that quite quickly. The magic of the stage will happen in fits and starts and very boring cue to cues, and in a week we'll be putting it all on for an audience, and as long as my wig stays on it should be a fun ride from there on out. Singing and dancing are not my strongest suit, in fact I never dreamed I'd find myself doing musicals again. It makes for a lot more work during the rehearsal process, as none of it comes easily to me. Most nights I come home sore and tired and claiming to be too old for all this craziness, and do you realize that it's been over a decade since I've taken a dance class??? But here I am, in my 34 year old 5'10" and xxx pound glory, being tossed in the air during a dance number for the first time in my life. And to think I nearly turned the show down.
