Here I sit, still in my goose shirt, makeup off, hair down,with a glass of Mountain Dew mixed with throat coat(a voice helper drink....USE IT FOR THE MUSIC, MIRANDA! IT HELPS!)
I'm done with opening night!
At the end when the curtain closed, we started screaming, then Carolyn yelled at us.
And Miranda brought me flowers and chocolate!
I counted 11 bobby pins in that nutso updo.
I figured it was going to be more.
Mrs. Steelman showed up, and I gave her a raspberry as I exited from "looking for Ugly"
Whats weird is that my makeup made Max(my brother, not Graylag) scream!
Which is good. Anyways, when I see someone I know in the audience, its kind of breaks my concentration.I remember who I am in reality, and that makes me feel weird.
Half the reason acting makes me feel so great is that I forget who I am. Not just the character, but the person who is playing that character. The cast list is gone from my mind. I'm no longer Molly Walker, nerd, loser, and rejected by even her friends, but I'm someone entirely different behind the role. I'm someone confident, able to do things without embarrassing myself, and with a sort of okay singing voice. But when I looked at Miranda, or anyone I knew-Tab, my parents, Emma(not bishop), David Kessler, Laura...I remember that I'm Molly again. The magic is the sharpest when the audience is all total strangers.
I dunno. Sounds lame right?
Any questions? Comment! I LOVE talking about behind the scenes stuff from shows I'm in!

Wow. That's really... deep. :D
Backstage was fun, thank you for letting us go there. :)
Yay, techies got half a second of applause! I wondered if we looked like ninjas when we snuck up behind the singing people wearing all black. I probably looked really stupid unfolding the table in front of everyone. I was told that they would dim the lights! That was the point of telling us to wear all black.
I know, right?
It kinda makes me sound antisocial...like I don't like people coming...
