Les Liaisons Dangereuses opened last Friday and it was super-dee-duper fun! (and as the French say, super-du-duper fun!) We are really getting some great feedback! AND there have been no major snafus. Sometimes the Theatre gods decide to blow the vapor from the fog machine backstage rather than on stage, but our performances are amazing fog or no fog.

…yea, there’s a scene with fog in the show. if anything, you should come just to see the fog. it’s intense.

Opening night party was fun too. It was small, but a lot of the times the smaller parties are more fun – there’s not really any dancing, but you really get to hang out with people, rather than constantly flittering around from group to group. Unfortunately, A few of us had to come back to campus early though – Chemistry of Crime Lab the next morning…oh right, the whole higher education thing. you know i think college would be a lot more fun without the classes…or better yet, just get rid of the grades, and we’ll just study exactly what we want: arts and crafts, nap time, recess…oh wait that’s called elementary school. dang, i really do miss elementary school.

Anywho, I will eventually post some Dangerous Liaisons pictures, but I’m waiting until the show closes this Saturday. (you have to check back to see the costumes – they are beautiful. special thanks to our costume designer, Jodi, and everyone in the costume studio!)

interesting thing about the costumes though: the girls wear corsets. Each night we squeeze our insides into a space about half the size of what they deserve. At first this was not fun, but now we like our corsets. … what’s that condition called when you start to love/need you captor…stockholm syndrome, i think. corsets are fun, but i guess i like my internal organs where they are, so i think i’ll stop wearing mine when the show closes...

But right now that’s kind of my life: Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
As for the fast-approaching spring break, my activities might or might not include acting, riding, and relaxing: hopefully, I’ll get to work on some film in Austin— I’ve got a few auditions that I’m trying to set up right now. If I’m not acting, Mother and I will be attending several horse shows, where I will get to show for the first time in about a year…it could be scary.

that is all.
