Time to celebrate. Why?
Because I got cast in a fucking kick ass part in a super awesome play. Not just a one-act, with no budget where you make your own costumes. No, this is a big budget show with a huge fucking set and I'm going to my first costume fiting today.
How stoked am I?
So stoked.
Okay, now you may be saying "Well, what's the play? And what's the role?" Here's where it gets interesting.
The play is Pentecost by David Edgar, and I am playing Yasmine, the stateless Palestinian turned terrorist leader. Obviously I got the part because I look so Arabic.
Yeah no.
So I'm thinking
a) time to start working on my tan
b) time to hit the gym and beef up because c'mon with these arms I cannot possibly be a convincing terrorist
Oh, but the best part about this play? In the second act there is FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY. There's a naked priest. So my good friend Patrick will be prancing on stage balls to the wind. Yes.
I'm just so happy about this all. Also because my two best friends got the other two good female roles. Yay.
Yay.

I'm not exactly sure how they did the painting thing at Evidence Room, but I'll tell you this: it shocked the hell out of me when the thing happened! I went into the show knowing nothing about it, which is the best way to go into any show, especially one that ends up being really good. You're sweet, but don't worry about preview tickets for me, I want to see it after you've had a chance to do it a few times. Such a short run, tho! Is that cuz it's for a school production?
I might be in SB sooner than I would've expected. I got a call yesterday from the director of Heart of a Dog, and he says the show's going up to Santa Barbara for a few performances! That I'll do... but he's also talking about taking it overseas, and I just don't want to do that right now.
Gotta run...
