Summer Stages Are Go!
It started. The fantastic summer job I have has started, and holy cow have I been busy. I have been through almost fourteen hours of rehearsal, ran two miles, did an hour of FitzMaurice voice technique work, half an hour of yoga, one evening get-together, plus I moved. And just think – that’s only the past three days!
Tomorrow holds more of the same, with a lot of faith being placed in me next Friday and Saturday. As assistant stage manager, I am at the beck and call of a fantastic person named Eileen, who is our stage manager. She will be gone those two days, leaving me to run rehearsals and keep people on track. It’s incredibly flattering, but also incredibly terrifying.
One of the best things I’m realizing is that I can make little changes to my lifestyle and see and feel near-immediate results. For instance, going cold turkey on cigarettes, running for at least twenty minutes every day, doing a good half an hour of stretching every morning, and, perhaps most importantly, eating ONLY the serving size of any sort of food, the two exceptions being water and coffee. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I think this summer season is going to get me to become that person I’ve always wanted to be.
There will be more that actually gets back to theatre later on… Thanks for reading!
