Okay, okay! About the Play...

The play was a smash hit! It was an ad-lib play that took place in a 50's Diner setting, I was the head waitress and one of the main characters, and I had several people ask me if my Jersey accent was my real voice. Even the cook who saw me before and after every performance noticed that I stayed in character at all times and asked me last night to talk to her in my normal voice. All of table 2 opening night was convinced I couldn't have faked it that well for that long that consistently. For Benita (our co-director who pretty much directed the whole thing) we got the Rogers and Hammerstein Collection, which I nearly covet, but it was my idea to get it for her, and I think I ended up paying for about $20 of the $80 gift. It's not so bad, since I really did think she did a great job and she and I got to know each other a lot better. :) I think it was definitely worth the effort we all had to put into it. It's crazy when people show up three shows in a row and have to pay $10 a ticket for it in the first place! The biggest compliment we got was a lot of people said they couldn't tell when we were on script or ad-libbing. That was awesome. :) And John's parents are here for the play, which was so cool...they got up at 3:30 this morning to drive here and see me. :) They love me! Anywho, I'm gonna get going so I can get to bed and get up for the AG church this morning. John and I usually go to the PUM church, but his parents wouldn't appreciate that one very much. I'll see most of you next week!
