so this play makes me a little nervous. mainly because of how hard i think comedy is to pull off well. especially in a 'cartoon' style. it could easily go in a way that's very shallow. but on the other hand, if we dig deeper into the history of these characters, we could come out with a very smart comedy. and i'm glad to see that we are heading down that track--i hope we can continue that throughout the rehearsal process. and i'm also excited to learn what different things i can do with my body and voice--i always feel a little intimidated about going all out physically and vocally because it doesn't work all the time. it's nice that everyone is in the same boat; we are all just trying stuff out and if it doesn't work, we just try something else. it's great that even in such a large cast, we all seem into doing that--i think that's a rare thing to happen, so I hope we continue to have that kind of outlook!
