patrick shot a dead nazi
Jun. 30th, 2007 11:27 am(i wrote this last night, in a bit of a haze....)
i've done a lot of theater, which means i've done a lot of opening nights. & i don't know if i've ever been happier or prouder of an opening night—or of a whole play—than this one. damn, but it was amazing in every way...everyone was just incredible onstage, the audience was responsive & smart--we could hear them thinking! & when patrick handed me the candle & said, “be careful with the flame,” someone in the front row said in a sort of strangled whisper, “she dies!” i took way too long with my next line because i was so pleased. just...the whole show. everything. so good.
& then patrick shot a dead nazi, noel & joel ate a bowl of clams in about thirty seconds, kelley introduced our turtle to the waitress (best waitress ever, by the way), & i nearly fell asleep over an alcoholic fresca. it was a good night.
(& now it's the next morning. time for me to really wake up, pretend what i just ate is enough breakfast for me, take a shower & get my ass over to the theater. two shows today! huzzah!)
