My show

Well, I'm in a play that debuts tomorrow night. It's a conglomerate of scenes from Shakespeare highlighting Shakespeare's women. The guy directing the show had some definite ideas for the costumes which he then passed onto me. Well, we had our first dress rehearsal last night and sweet fancy Moses. We don't look right. The men all look like they should be doing street theatre at a Renaissance Festival and the women look like we should be doing the regional tour of Godspell. I feel like the chicks look like hippies from the neck to the ankles and then are rudely interrupted by black tights and black flats. We should have been allowed to go barefoot, at least.

I know it's horribly vain and NOT AT ALL the point of being in a show, but I hate it when I don't like/am uncomfortable with my costume. I have worn some crazy stuff in the past. But at least that stuff all went together with the concept of the show and everyone matched/coordinated in some way. I just think we look weird. And not good weird, but distracting weird.

I am looking forward to sitting on my ass and knitting at night again. Two shows back to back is a little much for me. I need a nice break until next year...
