Oh, and Sunday matinee audiences, don't get me started.

I think it's nice to leap straight into another show, as that forestalls the inevitable post-show blues a little. And it is great to feel wanted, isn't it!

I think I will make that leap into the next. If they'll have me. The auditions for the one-acts are on Tues & Wed. It totally feels great to be asked. Post-show blues sometimes hit me hard. Other times it's post-show rejoicing. I'm not sure what it'll be this time. I kept a distance from this cast for some reason. I didn't want to jump into any 'so in so doesn't like so in so' and 'I'm not talking to so in so' and 'let's pretend like we like each other'. That stuff's just as tiring as rehearsing.

My face is totally drying out from all the makeup I wear in the show. At one part a firework was supposed to go off in my face offstage. So I walk on with black soot all over my face. Getting that soot off does a number on my skin. So I do the cold cream thing at night. Everytime I put it on I feel like I'm Bette Davis in 'All About Eve' where she spends a whole scene putting cream on her face.
