Stage -- I'm back!!!

This past Tuesday I auditioned for the one-act plays. I did it because I missed the stage-- I miss the theatre. I missed my first friends. It was my home at one point. 

Anyway, I went to see the cast list today :-) I'm proud to say that I got two wonderful roles! 

I got Karen for "Heart in the Ground" -- I fell in love with her monologue and wished really hard that I would be able to say it. I also got Grace for "Whales" -- now this should be interesting because I apparently get to curse a lot. 

These two roles-- very different from each other. Karen being emotionally (and probably mentally) unstable and Grace being perky (I think, I haven't read the whole play yet, but I'm sure it's gonna be quite fun). Both characters are sarcastic--which I would love to work on. 

I wonder how this will go. Me playing two very different characters and being myself afterwards. Work (accounting which is very business-y and professional) + Performing Arts (something that I really like doing as a hobby) = Balanced ME. 

I'm excited. I would be working with people who I really love and respect. I also would be working with people who I just recently met. I love the theatre. I can't wait to go back and remember why I chose to walk away from it. I retired, but I don't think I've had enough of it yet. 

That's all I can say for now. Btw, I'm still studying for my CPA. Test on Tuesday. Can't wait. :-)

Love to the nth,

Mabelle
