A Noise Within

May 15, 2009 01:08

I saw The Rehearsal at A Noise Within in Glendale. It was completely and utterly fantastic. Not one thing was wrong in the entire production. The acting, especially by the two male leads was jaw droppingly good. Watching them made me believe I was actually watching real people and not characters on a stage, which is a very very good thing ( Read more... )

OMG really? He was absolutely brilliant. He and the other male lead are beyond great actors. I actually remembered him from the last show I saw there and that last show I saw there was in 2002ish, Life is a Dream. Where do you live?

Anyway, I think it's closing soon, if you are going to see it, which I recommend, better go soon.

Sometimes I wish the theatre/acting bug would leave me but I'd be soooo depressed if it did. I have other goals but I don't ever want that desire to die, its just always been with me, I guess its just a part of me whether or not I ever use it. I hope I get so sad over not being a part of it one day that I just dive head first into it again.

It was too painful wanting to be in a business so consumed with outer appearances so much so that I always felt I'd have to be backstage when I always wanted to be on stage. I think if I was still trying to act I'd have mental breakdowns on a daily basis. And with politics I've found a love that just beats the theater enough that I can put theater in a catagory of enjoyment, not life ambition.

Theater can never leave me though, its too ingrained in the way I am. I just don't want to act on stage in the same way I did. I don't know its hard to explain. Maybe outright rejection, constantly, when auditioning broke me. I realized once at UCI that I was wasn't strong enough to weather the rejection that line of business requires of a working actor.

I love watching theater though and last nights show was fan-freakin-tastic.

Someday I imagine I'll see you in a movie. It'll be random out of nowhere I'll see you and turn to my friend and say 'dang, I know her, didn't she rock'?

Yeah its a trying process no doubt. There are a lot of out of work actors and its hella depressing to think about. I think I would be okay with being a theatre actor and never doing film, but who knows where I'll end up. And it does suck that so much of it is based on who you know and how people see you....talent seems to take a serious backseat. :/

Thanks babe, you made me smile. =)
