The person putting up our shows had a family emergency and our cast was given the day off – we’re losing out on our Saturday day off, but hey, an emergency is an emergency and as we all know, schedules are subject to change.
We were scheduled for a late start today and everyone was sleeping-in when we got the call, well, only one person got the call and for a moment I thought it someone was funnin’ with us, but since none of us went in and all of us can’t get fired I figured, OK, take the day…
I’m currently sitting at Starbucks, living the cliche, blogging about my ever so exciting life. Isn’t it odd Jew and Gentile reader that when you get what you want, it’s no longer exciting to you? Is there a name for that? Ingratitude, perhaps?
I had a very hard time at yesterday’s run of our Broadway Review. I don’t know what happened, my head wasn’t in the game. Which is a very bad thing, because it read on my face. I was off. I haven’t relearned how to fake it yet. I’ve been so concerned with being perfect when perfection is an improbability that I’ve forgotten the audience doesn’t know the choreography and as long as I’m the correct foot and smiling they’ll never know if I’ve messed up.
It’s in no way my goal to fake it all the time, but I need to stop beating myself up inside when I’m wrong. It’s counter-productive and highly unprofessional.
I have to remind myself, “I’m getting paid to do what I love!” – now. I need to act as if I’m supposed to be there, they wouldn’t've hired me if I couldn’t do what was required of me.
this is actually Donna, i was too lazy to fix things
any way as Rob Schneider would always say to Adam Sandler
“you can do it!!!”
@ Donna – Lazy!
@ Jody – I did that yesterday and we went to the tape and I was called out…
When you screw up just yell”Your doing it wrong” at your cast mates, how embarrassing – you were the only one doing it correctly.
You will be fine! Feel Good about yourself, and what you are doing! Have the confidence that I know you have!
