Not a blog with the flow and caliber in which I have presented previously but a series of facts instead follows--based on my place right now:
Tomorrow, we hit the stage free of our prosthetic extension called the script. That is Blanchy terminology for being OFF BOOK. We are working through Act 2 and Act 3. I do not know all my lines. I do know what is going on with my character, but I do not know my words right now...for everything...this is very frustrating....
24 days left until Opening Night.
I googled Blanche Dubois. Sure there are a ton of impersonators, but there are also some lovely sites that will give any actor (or anyone) an in depth summary of a character...such as, spark notes.
http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/streetcar/canalysis.html ...this will be helpful if you really want to get a good idea of what I am embarking upon.
There is a wine from DuBois that I saw in the wine shop the other day. I must get my hands upon this soon.
I have been blonde for a month now & already need to get more "work" done on the color. I do not miss the constant maintenance a person who has fake hair color must endure. Yet, I feel pretty good about the color...most seem to love it...and I have pretty honest friends. I may have even received a double take or two that I used to get years ago...now that I am blonde. So, this is entertaining.
I am a parent & have had the youth home basically for two weeks straight with sickness which does not bode well for an actress who wants to rehearse her character aloud. I have been very, very busy playing a variety of roles and not enough Blanche lately.
Again, tomorrow, I have to have 50 pages of dialogue within which several monologues are embedded. I wanted to write something on here to let you know what is going on because I do get a lot of status requests from you folks. I am really putting myself into getting these lines just right because it simply will not flow if even a word is off. It is an amazing challenge.
I am worried, stressed, as well as understanding more and more about Blanche and how she should be played as the play progresses. And I am hopeful that I can be where I need to be tomorrow. Off book on act two and three.
Thanks for reading! I am so close to being off book that we will soon begin the new chapter of onstage discoveries during rehearsal...I CANNOT WAIT...Send me memory luck.
