Posting Despite Pre-Performance Jitters

Posted on May 4, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

For once I was not too lazy to check, and it turns out I did already use the title, “Oh Crap! I Gotta Make a Blog Post!”  I even went back and read it (it was short).  I was about to go to a rehearsal, after being on overtime at work.  Today I am soon to start getting ready to go to a performance.  Regular readers will know it is Recipe for Murder Royale, the murder mystery to benefit Herkimer County Historical Society.  I had all day not only to make a blog post, but to do something to make a blog post about.  Failed on both counts.

Another suspicious bunch I am proud to be a part of.

I threw in a picture to pep things up.  This is the cast picture from when we did the show at Salisbury Grange on Sunday.  The sequins started coming off my dress, so I think I am going to wear something different.  Maybe somebody will take a picture of me that I can share.

As you may guess, I am getting pre-performance jitters, the more so since I am not so confident in my new costume choice.  I don’t know why I should worry.  Probably everybody will say I look nice, even if I don’t really.  I got plenty of compliments on the green number.  Anyways, it is not all about me looking fabulous.  It is all about me killing somebody for fun and non-profit!

Pre Frangelica Jitters

Posted on January 26, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

Good afternoon and may I have your attention please for a Pre-Performance post.  Have I done one of those before?  I mustn’t take the time to go back and check; I just looked at the clock, and I must allow time to fuss with my hair and dither over my costume.  First, I hope, a cup of coffee.  I just put it on to brew.  I have traded coffee for Irish Breakfast Tea the past two mornings, so I have perhaps inflated expectations of how wonderful this coffee is going to taste.

The performance, as regular readers know, is Curtains for Frangelica, the murder mystery we are reviving from this past fall to present for the New Hartford American Legion tonight. I believe proceeds will go toward DAV vans.  I only do these murder mysteries for charity, not profit.  Killing for a Cause?  You alliterate.

Throwing in a picture to pep up the post.

This is a picture from when we were rehearsing the show last fall at Herkimer Elks Lodge.  It was fun then, and I have every reason to expect it to be fun now.  There is really no reason to feel nervous.  But of course I do.

Or will it be curtains for me?

The last I heard the show had not sold out.  If any local readers are suddenly inclined to attend, tickets may still be available.  New Hartford American Legion’s phone number is 315-736-7041.  They are located at 8616 Clinton St., New Hartford, NY.

I think my coffee is ready.  I know my nervousness will vanish and I will have a wonderful time once we start.  I only hope I can find a pair of pantyhose without runs in them!
