but the show is getting some of the worst reviews... to those familiar with the edmo community, liz (thanks a lot, liz) accused me and my scene partner of beginning the play in a fury of "grimacing and eye-rolling". like the show begins with some sort of theatrical seizure. which, in a way, it does. but i swear, i was just following orders.
"pretend you're on an episode of three's company..."
famous last words of Herr Direktor.
paul (www.vueweekly.com) apparently just didn't like the plays.
but the very best is the review at www.seemagazine.com that says "if you must see this, take advantage of the fact that it's put on in a bar, and quaff 2 or 3 drinks before the show. this should help take the edge off..."
S-NAP!!!
i swear, some of these reviews are so HILARIOUSLY written, the authors should consider writing plays themselves.... oh, right.
so apparently i am in a sucky play. i personally do not suck (unless you listen to Liz Nicholls, but come on, she starts out her review with "Yikes!". yikes. that's the kind of hard-hitting, well-thought-out journalism that... oh, fuck it, it just sounds like she's conferring with Velma and Shaggy. Zoinks!).
so my self-esteem is somewhat intact.
somewhat.
mostly i just can't wait for it to be over.
ZOINKS!

but she did say that you a j-man were really good in another scene together so i think that was a comment more on the directing and cencept of the thing (and perhaps the writing...that was quite a slam about a certain red-haired girl's play) than of your performance specifically.
sorry to hear that the experience is such a trial. we can commiserate over bubble tea and rice rolls when i get back.
seriously, you should read gilbert's review. it names names and kicks some ass. truly, one of the more brutal reviews i have read in a long time.
not the first shit-show you've been in, won't be the last. you know you're an incredible performer (...one of the best i've known...), but that doesn't mean that every show you're in is going to be good enough to support the breadth of what you bring to the table. fuck 'em. slog through it with your eye on the cast party.
