Stage Frightish

I just spent the last hour and a half curling my hair yet again in order to become Marion Gilford, member of the Women's Army Corps. in 1942. ^_^ Takes forever to get my hair into those tight curls. And tonight is our first performance! So I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time in case I needed to redo any part of it that decided it didn't want to cooperate. Luckily I think it did pretty well.

I'm nervous, but I'm more excited than anything. We had a handful of critics and veterans sit in on our dress rehearsal last night so I think that helped get rid of some of my initial stage fright. I've done everything in front of people now, so I just have to keep doing what I'm doing. Heh. It's not even my lines or anything like that I worry about - it's my dance. I'm always hoping that no shoes go flying and my partner doesn't drop me on my face. : P Haha. Which has never happened, not even in rehearsal so I don't see why I worry about it so darn much.

I cannot wait until Ryan gets to come home and see the show. He's going to be so proud of me! ^_^ I'm proud of myself for finally doing this. I've wanted to be in theatre for years, but I just never had the courage or confidence. I'm thankful to have been handed this opportunity and to have been brave enough to take it. Yay me!
