Last week after going to [livejournal.com profile] pheromone's house to see her monologue, I tagged along to auditions for You Can't Take It With You to see if there were any roles I liked. I didn't know the show at all, but it turned out there was a role that intrigued me. After waffling all day about my schedule, I decided at about 4:00 PM to go show up and shoot for that.

I came armed with an unmemorized monologue from the completely incongruous The Laramie Project. The two shows couldn't possible be farther apart on the light/dark scale. But cold readings are my stronger suite, and they went well. I didn't expect to be doing a show this winter, but that's the way things go at T@F, and with me.

I'm sure that it will suprise no one that I am playing a Russian Grand Dutchess. *best haughty face* She's pretty much the polar opposite of Mistress Quickly. I will be seeking out [livejournal.com profile] imlad for coaching on my Russian accent. ;-)

Funny, when I was the age to play ingenues, I couldn't play them because I'm me and very-not-that, and I hated that I was a character actress. Now I couldn't be happier. Housekeeper to Royal in two shows. Character acting is definitely for me.

Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] lordfeepness, our director and fearless leader, and congrats to the other peeps in the show. I raise a vodka to you!

Most excellent! You will make a grand grand duchess, and I will be more than happy to perform accented coaching ;-)

Many thanks! (I wish I knew how to say it in Russian). You are my coach, and the drinks will be on me. I'll bet my accent gets better with every drink!

Does this mean vodka is the drink of choice for this show? I've never been much for vodka myself, but I'm not sure I've ever had the really good stuff, so you never know. :)

Actually I can't really drink vodka; I get horrible headaches from it. So my drink will still have to be tequilla. But we can come up with a vodka drink in honor of the show!

Clearly, we need to do a vodka drinknig tutorial. Once I am done with you, you will know how to shoot it, enjoy it, not get overly drunk and not have a headache the morning after!!!

Hehe! I'd still seek out [livejournal.com profile] imlad even if the accent weren't Russian. I'd just lie and say it was!
