current mood: stressed
current song: Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
I'm pretty ticked right now.
So, to start with--
My day just plain sucked, and I don't really know why. It just kind of did.
Then, today, our play (Fiddler on the Roof) premiered, and some stupid idiots in our ensemble started singing before the lights even turned on. People were coming to this show thinking we were going to be mediocre already because Fiddler is actually a very advanced play, and within the first five minutes, we basically proved them right.
Then, when we were out in the wings, the cast-would-not-shut-up. They probably heard every damned word that was spoken, especially throughout all the quiet moments in the play.
Third? During Hodel's "Far From the Home I Love", some idiot running the sound cut off the music, but the good girl kept it going, and got a big round of applause not only for her great voice, but for not faltering or cutting off once at the shock of the music suddenly dying.
Fourth--
Tevye, while yelling at Chava for marrying Fyedka, screwed up his lines and yelled "I'M NEVER GOING TO ACCEPT YOU GUYS!"
Imagine the laughter.
I highly doubt that in the early 1900's of a poor Russian village, they said "guys", even those few who could speak English back then.
But, still--Daniel (my buddy who plays Tevye) made up for it, because the rest of his performance was spiffy. (GO DANIEL!)^^
Fourth (this is long, now isn't it? Enjoy my rambling. =D)! The lights crew kept turning on the lights before we even WALKED ON TO the stupid stage!
Fifth, we had this stupid overhead back drop that placed images as the background, when we already HAD a background, and it made the scene changes perfectly viewable. It just stunk.
Sixth, I nearly messed up (I probably did mess up) during the Wedding Dance, and once the performance finished, so many people screwed up while walking on stage to take separate bows, and my friend Shea and I missed the bow of the entire cast, and we got all upset about it. xD But, our anger lasted for only three minutes, before everyone was mauled as the audience ran to congratulate us on our well done performance (=coughLIARScough=). But, whatever. Hopefully our Friday and Saturday performances will be better.
Plus, Sunday is our cast party, and it's going to be from 4 PM to 9 PM at Emily's house. I'm so not going to stay the whole time; I'll probably just go at around six or something. Ha. Now to tell Emily.
I would go for the first three hours opposed to the last, but daylight is for sissies. :p
Some of my friends and myself are just hoping it'll go well, though. Emily isn't HATED, but she's not one of the most popular people in the world, and already some of the cast and crew members have been saying it might not be that great, anyway. Dx
Eep, I'll feel like a prick if I end up not going for the entire time just because it sounds lame, but she's told me she has absolutely nothing planned.
Spiffy.
More of my whining and complaining-- My family is coming to the performance tomorrow (YO, SARAH AND SANDRA), and they're going to take pictures...well, that's fine, but they're going to send them to my relatives in LEBANON. As stupid as this sounds, I don't want to receive congratulations on something I don't even have a big part in, it'll seriously only make me feel worse about it. :/ That makes me depressed; I'm not the only one who's nearly had an outburst at stupid slackers because of this play, because we've seriously worked our butts off with this.
Ignore any typos in this post, because I'm drop dead tired right now....x__x
If any of you have any graphic Christmas wishes, give me a postie! =D
