A Thespian trapped in a man's body

In other news, I have taken a the role of Roger/Gary in a local community theater production of Noises Off! It's really a funny comedy to see, and a funny one to be involved in. It involves a lot of physical comedy and rather witty dialogue....and it's the first play that I've ever been in. It's quite the experience - I'm really behind the script at the beginning...where to stand, when to come in, when to stop talking, where to look, what to say, what to hold, what to put down. It's kind of like the first time I pushed that throttle forward and started off down the runway with my brain about 500ft behind the plane. All that to say, if you want to have a fairly accurate picture of what small-town community theater is like, you must watch the Christopher Guest mockumentary, Waiting for Guffman. It's like he went to Coshocton and researched this movie - it's hilarious, mostly because it's SO true...Okay, back to practicing my lines....
