Pear Slices 2009 previews tonight. Well, it's come fast...that happens when you've only had a week of rehearsal. But frankly, that's all I needed. Of course, I wasn't very impressive last night in our final dress rehearsal of "A True Apology" dropping a line that throw us off-course a bit. We wobbled through the 15 minute piece, but we got through it. No matter what, that's the most important thing. Getting through it.
Biggest laugh in "A True Apology" last night from the small audience of directors, producers, crew and fellow actors was after calling my "mother" (Lindi Press) an "old, blind bitch" and waiting for Helena Clarkson's character to interpret; I was blocked from seeing my mom's face. So when I leaned around eagerly to see her reaction to being called an old, blind bitch, the house busted up. I liked that.
One of the points of the piece is to show "the disabled" in certain emotional situations, being mean and cruel and "normal." Needless to say, I'm really, really looking forward to seeing what "regular" folks' reactions will be tonight. Check out http://www.thepear.org/ for show information.
