Factoid: J.M. Barrie died on this date in 1937
I have survived my first day of rehearsal! Not to mention an EXTREMELY trying and difficult airport adventure trying to get here in the first place. I arrived at LGA at 1:10pm. I was not on a plane until after 9:00pm. No more need be said.
After the travel nightmare I was greeted by two *very* pleasant surprises -- my own room! (I thought I wouldn't be in a private room until we opened) and the box of clothes and the suitcase I shipped were already in the room for me (because the director is a saint and carried them there for me. No small feat - I may be playing a boy, but I pack like a girl. My Indian name is "Carries a lot.")
This day was completely packed - I feel like I've already been here for four days instead of one. We had a housing meeting in the morning - then a cast meeting. Then music rehearsal, lunch (yay Kroger!) more music rehearsal and then a costume fitting!
Costume fitting was super exciting for me. The truth is, pursuing a career in theatre was just my way of continuing to play 'dress-up' as an adult. I am feeling VERY good about where things are going in the costume department. Also awesome: wig has been extremely well received -- don't want to jinx it yet, though, because the head-honcho still has to sign off on it.
After the costume fitting, got some dinner and then it was off to the YMCA (all the actors are given a free membership) -- gotta refine that boyish figure! :P
Somehow despite the fact that the day seems like it was an entire week long, I'm still shocked to see that it's 10:30pm.
There's a lot I'd like to talk about/go in to... but I'm still trying to sort out what I think it's okay to write about on here, and what's not.
Tuesday is our day off during the rehearsal period, so at the minimum I'll try to be posting something once a week.
