Would you say it’s strange to have an actor’s nightmare after a playi s over, instead of during the run? Well, I had one last night, about “The Sound of Music”, which I just finished performing last week.
So It’s 7:30, and I don’r have my make-up on, so they start the show without me. The only thing is, I’m Maria, so they can’t really start the show without me. So they start doing all of these weird, improvised, avant-garde stylized scenes. SO then I’m ready, but they won’t stop with the improv. Finally, we have bows, and I come out and say, “Okay, let’s start the show now”, and one of the producers looks at me and says “You are such a prima dona!”
Okay, fine. Actor’s nightmare. Whatever. So I tell my “podmate”, Scott, and we talk about it for a little bit, and he says “I don’t think there’s anything too deep about it.”
Me: Yeah, standrad actor’s nightmare>
Scott: (as he walks out of the office) or a Mommy’s nightmare…
Thanks. That’s exactly the kind of curve you throw the daughter of a psychologist on your way out the door…
