gilanaHad our last performance last night. I had a moment waiting in the wings when I found I could not remember for the life of me how a particular scene started. It was that awful nightmare sensation of going onstage without knowing one's lines, more than a little scary, but I decided to trust that I would remember the line when I got to it, and in fact I did. Each performance of this piece has been different from the last, and this was no exception, but it definitely felt like one of the better ones. Not that magic "this is *right*" of last Saturday, but somehow emotionally true, and I feel like we're just getting the hang of really listening to each other. I wish we could keep doing it for a while, just to see where it goes, but on the other hand sleep and free time will be much appreciated while they last.
I heard a rumor that it had been declared "corset and kilt night", so I came prepared -- spent the pre-show time in a black velvet bustier with embroidered roses and long gypsy fringe over my shorts, then swapped out the shorts for a long black skirt for the cast party.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ironpoet hosted a lovely cast party, which was much more spacious than the last one at his place, although I spent a lot of the time crammed into the pantry with a few friends. Finally got to fulfill my hugh school fantasies of making out at a cast party, and in fact got to kiss two of the people I found hottest in our cast. (And bacall, why doesn't Megan have an LJ? Fix that, willya?) It wasn't my usual preferred mode of curling up on a couch and listening to the party around me, but I enjoyed it, and got to spend at least a little time with a lot of people I really like. But damn, I'm going to miss that cast. We had a really great group, and while I'm sure I'll get to see many of them, it's never quite the same.
Left around 4am when we were herded out, woke up around noon, and managed to stave off most of the post-show depression by going back over toironpoet's to hang out and watch the gaming session (which ended up not happening, but I still got to hang out and cuddle and even look for an audition monologue for Merry Wives.) T@F -- it's not an addiction, I just really need it. (Hey, that might make a good t-shirt!)
