Phew! It's over and done with! I'm so proud of myself as well as I got wonderful reviews. But not just about me, but of course the rest of the cast members, which I would have never been able to do the show with. So I do not want to take all the credit, but just the credit that goes to me.
During the performance, I can tell you now that I was so scared and nervous for the entire day and the first second before coming onto stage for opening night. It was a new director, surrounding, new cast memebers, ect. Well right when I did get on that stage, it all went away, and I was Kanga. The show went wonderfully and afterwards, I got many great reviews from people coming up to me and telling me how much of a good job I did. That is one of the most wonderful feelings a person can feel. It was really great and heart warming. Since there were two weekends of having to do the show, some were better than others. But I would have to say that opening night was the best night, and then the second to the last show was I would have to say the worst performance because a scene where Piglet and I come on stage, she missed her cue so I had to go on without her. I was dreading that I would never have to do this. So I didn't want to look like a crazy person talking to myself; so I had to improv that entire scene(good thing it wasn't that long, but it sure did fell like it). I tired my best, but some people could tell there was something wrong, but I did fine(cast members said) and got through with it. I tired for it to not to get to me, and I didn't let it effect my performance. I used that emotion and acted on that emotion through Kanga. Piglet was very sorry and I told her to let it never happen again and to not let it get to her either. She did. And good thing too because it never did happen again.
As a performer, I never had a person miss a cue with me, to not comepletely come on, so that was a new experience for me. It was scary, but I did not let it show in my performance as well as the nervousness. To me, I think my nervouseness it good because it shows that I care what my audience thinks and feels about the performance, and that also shows that I care about the performance as an actress. If I ever lost the sense of feeling or caring for the play, then I would lose my interest, as well as my desire to want to do a performance; making the performance not as entuisiastic and fun because my heart would not be in it.
But I do intend to keep doing performances there. The next play I am going to audition for it Narnia, and the auditions are on March 9=10th, 6-10pm. Lets see what happens!
