my theater company is putting on two shows in rep this summer: the first quarto of hamlet and an original play based on hamlet (but all the genders are reversed) called pricilla. i've been known to do a little costume desigining in the past, and usually with a budget of next to nothing. it was decided that i'll be designing both shows (because the director for one of the shows had someone she wanted, but we would have to fly them in...which we REALLY can't afford at this point) as well as acting in one of them. i only agreed to design both if i could act. i'm really itching to be on stage right now. and why would i be putting all of this work in to this company if i couldn't do what i want, right?
but i'm starting to get a little nervous and psych myself out about the designing...two shows at once...while acting. and i don't even know what the concept for hamlet is yet. it could be scary and complicated. do i have that much creativity??? where will i find my inspiration?
i know i'll do it and do it well (at least i hope so). i usually do. but it doesn't mean i won't stress about it before.
at least it'll all be over by august so i can at least enjoy the latter part of the summer.

You'll do fine, Karron, you always did. The more stress, the more acting becomes a RELEASE. I remember that from "Vasco's Funeral." From shoving a shotgun in poor Jon Robert's face.
zaid sayeed is that you?
Wow, I didn't realize there were THAT MANY "Vasco's Funeral"s, and that many violent gangsters who picked on Afghani priests...
