putting my character shoes back on...

Here we go. I'm finally back in my comfort zone on stage and it doesn't feel very comfortable. I haven't been on stage in nearly 3 years, but I was fortunate enough to have made the cast of Pirates of Penzance. I have a minor role, but even the thought of singing in a chorus of other actors scares me...so I plan on making little steps. Theatre used to be my life. I was always either in a show, taking lessons, or majoring in music. But life took a wrong turn, and I threw acting and singing to the side. It was a part of my "old life" and I was looking to start over. So I moved on and started working. a lot. I was very unhappy with my life because the joy was taken away...and i did it to myself.

Well the time has come to take back what made me so happy for so long. I start rehearsal tonight and I am anxious just thinking about it. holding sheet music in my hand again...learning choreography and blocking...I just cant wait to feel that way again.
