A Weekend In The Country...

I've been so busy with rehearsal for the show I'm in (A Little Night Music) that I haven't even had time to catch my breath. I'm probably super behind on schoolwork, but I'll work on that later.

I love rehearsal. I love doing the actual show more, but rehearsal is so fun for me. I think it's because you're actually working towards a finished product to show to audiences and get a response, along with getting to use costumes and sets and lights and all that. I don't know, it just makes me feel like I'm actually doing something versus being in a class working on a scene for a teacher who is just going to rip the scene apart (even if it is to help).

Anyway, if you're in the Northern California area, A Little Night Music is opening at CSU, Chico May 1 and running until the 10th. May 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 performances are at 7:30pm, May 4 performance is at 2pm. This is the show that includes such hits as "Send in the Clowns", "A Weekend in the Country", and "Glamorous Life".

I'm missing the background music.

"The problem with reality is the lack of background music." - Jim Carrey

How very true. I can't even count how many times I've thought "if there was music playing here, it'd be so cool." Like when you're running through a crowded area because you're late. Or feeling lonely. Or finding out that you got a job that you really wanted. No music plays in real life. And that is sad. At the same time, music changes your point of view on what is going on, so if you are already feeling lonely and a sad song starts playing...you could quite possibly feel lonelier. But that's just what I think. Which is what this blog is about...things I think about. So. There's that.
