if you ever think you can adore someone, go for it...

Today was a good day. Work was fun-filled with organizing & what not. I didn't get to see God of Carnage because the matinee was cancelled. Grr and class made me angry. We had a Meisner sub & I've decided I do not want to be friends with him. THEN I had a sad time while eating dinner because of things I can't control. But then, I tried to take my mind off it and took Gabe out with Morgan & Stefanie. We went to Union Bar...had some drinks...ended up at The Ritz (Super Gay Bar!) on 46th and danced until 3am. Gay bars are awesome because nobody hits on you!! Yay for gay men! Then we subwayed our way home for an hour & I got in bed at 4:30ish. Made the conscious decision to sleep in my clothes & wear them to work the next day. I was on time. Figures. The day I actually go out I'm on time right? Hah. 

Anyway, saw Impressionism today. GREATNESS. It was a little slow in the beginning, but it really picked up. It was very funny but also had a lot of symbolism within the piece. I won't ruin it for anyone but it's definitely worth seeing. 

Joan Allen is definitely a physical actor. Her body was moving everywhere. Hands flying in the air, her face was constantly drenched in emotion, projected her voice, exaggerated movement. It took me a bit to give into her character. 

Jeremy Irons on the other hand. His face was calm except when he felt a need to smirk, laugh or convey expression. His movements were simple. His voice was casual (he said "PRO-cess" HAH BECAUSE HE'S ENGLISH). Sometimes he said his lines together really quickly like he was actually speaking the words for the first time. I believed him right away. 

They had an interesting dynamic between their different techniques. It really added to the relationship between characters.

Since my boss, Matt, is producing the show we had the chance for complimentary tickets. He was in the playbill. Cool.

Working at Matt Murphy Productions, we have the amazing privilege of free water. Now, I love water. Drink it all the time. perhaps a little too much. We ran out of it quickly & when I asked Matt where my tickets were for tonight...

"Interns who drink too much water sit in mezzanine."

That didn't bother me. When we got there, Gabe & I were holding Orchestra Comp tickets and were led past red velvet curtains, three rows away from the stage. 

The tickets go for $116 dollars a pop. I get them for free. What an amazing opportunity especially being an actor. I thought about myself a year ago & I could never imagine doing the things I'm doing right now. It just keeps getting better regardless if I can't see that all the time. 

I think I just need to open my eyes a little more often.
