Acting Debut

Hi again, folks!

Sorry for being so blog-hog today. I was just checking my stats earlier. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VIEWS MY BLOG!!!
Anyway, one of my posts was displayed on my stat thingy... I clicked on it and it was a silly little entry on acting. Silly, but way sarcastic on my part. I apologize. It isn't harmful, though.
So, as I was saying...
I read the entry, I edited some grammatical errors, and I noticed that at the last part of the entry I said: "only time will tell when I get my acting debut" or something like that. Refer to the blog entitled -- (I'll get back to you on this...).

It's funny that I said that because only time did tell when I finally got my acting debut...
That entry was on November 8, 2008, and my debut was, I believe, in April of 2009, which is only a couple of months after that entry.

I debuted on the AU stage as Eve from "The Apple Tree, Act I". Dave Lloyd (Adam), Matt Stauffer (Snake), and I were in it. It was a fun experience. It was a mini-musical, which we played for two nights. Both, I was told, were full houses.

After that, I got another huge role as Shen Te from Bertolt Brecht's "The Good Woman of Setzuan". It was a three-hour fall-production with different interesting characters. It was my first full major play. I got to play a poor woman who sells herself to make ends meet, but because of her good nature, playful gods helped her by giving her money to start a business of her own. Shen Te, however, was too good of a person that she was often taken advantage of. She then decided to pretend to be Shui Ta, a fictional cousin. Eventually, she got pregnant by a man she fell deeply in love with. However, because of the crazy world that this fictional character lived in, she decided to stay as Shui Ta forever. It was an open-ended play.

In the end, I got burnt out.

Thankfully, I got my first and last Irene Ryan Nomination. I also got a medal for being nominated and a trophy for being Best Female in a Lead Role. I was touched. Thank you, Dr. Thomas. And, thank you, AU theatre.

Now, I am, again, active with the theatre. I am not in the play anymore, but I am helping out as an ASM or assistant stage manager. I am happy with it, so I don't mind the long night hours and the repetition of it. Tonight is another play night, and I am expecting a good turn out. Tomorrow night is the last night. I will be sad after, but I'll get over it. Honestly, I like this play (Yevgeni Shvartz' The Shadow) than GWOS.

That's all for now, I need to get going. Bye guys! :-_

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby
