EXTRA EXTRA! British comedy makes dramaqueen go against her word... read all about it!!!

Yesterday I received a very interesting text message from one of my RTP friends, Kim.
The text message basically asked me to do her sister's part in the latest RTP production, "Playing Away," since, apparently, her sister had dropped out and they needed someone to do the part.

There was a twinge of desperation in the message, so I called her.
MAN, was she ever pissed.
Apparently, her sister "flaked out" on the role and Kim told Barry, the director, that she would call me and ask me to do the role.
I, being the silly girl I am, obliged and said I would be at the theatre last night at 7.
She said it was a small part and that the lines weren't that much.
It opens the first weekend of December, so I have plenty of time to memorize lines.
No sweat.
Well, I went.
And I loved it.

It's a great play.
Plus, we're doing british accents!
AUGH!
I spend 80% of my life walking around doing a british accent so I was pumped.

Talk about fun.

Mom was less than thrilled at the idea of me doing yet another production for which I wouldn't get paid....
Blah.
She'll come around...
Eventually.

And if not, she'll just have to hate me for the next couple of weeks.
*SHRUG*
Sacrifices, sacrifices...
