sooooo doing a show with laryngitis is no fun. who knew? 

the shittiest bit is that even though I barely speak during the day, I still haven't had time to recover. so instead of getting markedly better, I'm lingering in this "still pretty hoarse and cough-y" stage. Major improvement from Tuesday, though, when I couldn't speak and we had to cancel the preview. I did the dress rehearsal and our Tuesday night invited dress without speaking - Dan or Keelin read my lines. That was amazingly fun and forced me to be a better actor. Sweet exercise.  We did something like that when I worked on The Seagull with Tanja Jacobs. I can't remember if we did the whole play like that - we might have. Or maybe we just did the scenes off book way before we were actually off book. In any case, I love doing runs like that - it's nice to have something to break up working on a character or play in a certain way. 
 

now off to bed!!!! god, school + theatre is fun but also exhausting. 

an obvious Friday Fave by Sarah Deller

Scored by: Music from Inception - Mind Heist Created by: David Michalek Description: The film of Alan Rickman is from the project, Portraits in Dramatic Time by David Michalek. For more information please visit: http://www.davidmichalek.net/ The project featured an array of glacially paced performances of theater artists and actors all genres and nationalities.

I was torn for my Friday Fave between this and a different video which will be for next week, I guess, but I laughed so hard rewatching this I knew it had to be this one.
