LINES

Oh, the SCRIPT.

I love reading it, I love discussing it with Misha, talking about where Georgia & Leona are coming from, when they are lying to themselves, when they are saying things out loud for the first time and when they are telling stories the same way they've told them countless times before. I can picture it now--I'm building the set in my head and starting to imagine the way Georgia & Leona move through their respective spaces.

But now... the words need to be memorized. 21 pages for me of double-spaced type. 10.5 pages of single spaced words. I generally have a good memory for this sort of thing, but we open in just over a month. So, it's not that I'm worried about memorizing the words, it's more that I'm terrified of forgetting them on stage. And I won't be able to say "Ah f@#k, I screwed up, can we do another take?" Thus, the glorious difference (one of many) between the stage and the screen. And this difference is the one that I'm dreaming about at night. (And not in a good way.)

So, what's the lesson here? STOP BLOGGING LV, AND GO LEARN YOUR LINES, that's what.
