07 May 2006 Full Circle I've frequently mentioned in this journal how doing the Rep workshop production of Merrily We Roll Along brings a lot of things in full circle. Merrily was the show that finally showed me just what it is exactly that I should be doing; it made me realize I really wanted to pursue theater as a career. Now, Merrily is (hopefully) the start of another level in my pursuit of a theater career; it's my first lead role in a major musical, and it'll be on Onstage Greenbelt! And not only that, I'll be following this up with Aladdin Jr. (also for Rep, and with quite a few folks from the workshops). After going through a week's worth of music rehearsals, we're now doing the blocking, and there are a lot of little things that highlight how I've come full circle. Little coincidences, perhaps, but I've always been one to put importance in the little things. One such tiny detail is the fact that, once again, I'll be setting up the bar for the first party scene. I played a bartender for "That Frank" in blueREP's Merrily, so one of my tasks was to set up the bar area. This time around, Toff (who will play one of the waiters in "Rich and Happy" before he appears as Joe) and I were assigned to set up the bar for "Rich and Happy." Again, it's a little tidbit that probably isn't that important or significant, but to me, it's another little detail that emphasizes just how far I've come. It was also interesting getting to play a waiter, even if it's just to stand in for Toff, while we were doing our blocking last Friday. There are other details, such as the fact that both directors (Chari Arespacochaga and Robbie Guevara) are good friends and colleagues (they run the same events planning group). All these little things add up to a very interesting and hopeful picture for my future. Opening doors, indeed. posted by Ren at 11:39 PM |
