12 Divas + 1 Play = Drama

The first time I had the wig on with no make up I was the spitting image of Ronald Wesley. Seriously. Nothing against him i have a little friend who thinks he is the cats meow. But to look int he mirror and see him as me shocking. One of the ladies said out loud you look like Rupert and then said I thought Truvy was attractive before she could stop herself. Now I have changed the make colors and still am unrecognizable but no longer looking Wesley. My family came last night to the dress rehearsal and my 4 year old niece did not know me! My cousin said you are nothing like that character which is a compliment. Truvy is a huge flirt and very into men. She loves airplanes and spicy foods and complains about her couch potato hubby. She is also always in full get up and all her artificial glory. I think we are both the life of the party and good supporters. So I can see some of me in her. She does love romance. She thinks everything is her favorite like me and loves life. Scott was so funny when I complained on stage that my hubby had not been romantic since 1972 he said "That's not true" He forgets that my hubby on stage and my hubby off are not both him. He is nothing like the on stage hubby couch potato.
To say I adore the women cast and crew of my play is a big understatement. I have gotten so close to a few of them and just love having new Friends. Plus I feel like it has been a challenge in juggling lines, accent, blocking doing hair nails and having many cast members missing in acting for most of the rehearsals. There is not one weak actress int he entire cast which is hard to accomplish. Melissa and Angela make me so happy I get excited to go be with them each day. We have been living at the theater Mon- Fri and Sats for 6 weeks. I will really miss the other cast as we open tomorrow night:(
