Every year an acting group comes to Parkersburg to do a play with children from kindergarten to seniors in five short days. They audition Monday and Saturday is the show. When I was in second grade, I tried out for the play "Sleeping Beauty" they were doing. I made it and was Maid Number One. I was so important. I had one line and had the other maids out when it was time to go. Let me tell you, that's some pressure for a second grader! The next year, I made it again in "Treasure Island". I was a towns person and once again had a whole one line. Like I said, I'm an important person when I'm in plays. I do my one lines well! The next two years I tried out for the plays and didn't make it. I decided my acting days were over... My dreams were crushed. Not once, but twice. Sad day..
Our school does a school play every year, and last year I decided not to do it. But I decided this year I would do it seeing it might be my last time (another blog for another day) to do it. I told the teachers straight up I didn't want a speaking part. I'll be on stage and that's about all they were going to get. Well, they betrayed me and gave me guess how many lines? ONE! A whole one! I wanted none! Those teachers.. they're sneaky ones.. "The weather always spoils everything!" That's the line. Crap, I shouldn't have told you.. please come still see the play. I'll sell you tickets. Oh, and my name? "Another Woman". That's it. Don't confuse that with the OTHER woman.
So ladies and gentlemen, this is my return debut to acting in "The Other Wise Man". December 5th at my school. Come and watch me say my one liner wonderfully!
Thanks ;)
