It's a Farce...
Dress rehearsal went well for Mary and I last night. A couple of hitches; I'm dressing one of the other actors in a last minute we-all-run-onto-the-stage bit of theater at the end. I realized as we lined up to go -that his costume was still in the dressing room. So that was a problem. We figured it out though. Mary realized she couldn't get her damn wig off very quickly so now I'm dressing for her as well. That's okay, it keeps me from falling asleep during the third act.
Mary's costume is beautiful (as is she). She looks like she was born to wear it.
This has been a unique experience for me. I came in late. Got up to speed very quickly and I'm now having a blast doing it. I've learned a lot from Michael Robertson during this show. He was, after all, the man that first really sparked my interest in theater way back in the 80's. Introduced me to Edward Albee as well.
The play opens April 13th, 2005 at 7:00 pm and runs through the 16th. The Whitney Fine Arts Theater 1424 Yale Place on Loring Park. There is a matinee on Saturday at 1:00 pm too.
