Yes, I neglected to make a blog post yesterday, in the morning or in the evening. I don’t know why I feel so obligated to call attention to my shortcoming, but so it is. Yesterday I was writing in the morning, just not on the blog (my side hustle, covering local board meetings for the Sentinel). In the evening, I had rehearsal for Prescription: Murder, the play I am in at Ilion Little Theatre.
This picture is actually from last Tuesday’s rehearsal. The director took a few pics of my big scene and texted them to me.
I purposely bought the nail file for this scene. It’s a fancy glass one. I like to take a little trouble with my props. I am having a lot of fun at rehearsals, and people seem to think I am doing very well with the character. I need to do a little better with the lines, but I am working on that.
I did mention that I am the murder victim, didn’t I? I guess I’ll end up spending most of the play backstage crocheting. I feel fortunate I do not have to spend too much time lying dead on the stage trying not to sneeze. It was my murderer’s idea to kill me so my body lies behind the couch, so the audience will not be focused on watching to see if I move.
Prescription: Murder will be presented March 29 through 30 and April 4 through 6, 7:30 p.m. on the Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. on the Sundays, at Ilion Little Theatre, Remington Avenue, Ilion, NY.
