You know those days where it seems like nothing goes right, but the amazing night totally makes up for it? I had one of those days yesterday.
I have come to the conclusion that though google says there are eight art galleries/studios in Waco, there is only one. And it's closed on Monday. I went in search of these galleries/studios to research one of the projects I'm working on here at MW. We are in the planning stages of opening our own small art gallery and studio where local artists can display their work and people from the community can come take art classes and receive art therapy. I'm really excited about the project, and ready to get moving on more than just the planning stage. But no one else is ready to move past the planning stage... ;)
After I got lost multiple times with the help of the GPS, my random tour of Waco finished. I felt like I totally wasted two hours and 1/4 of a tank of gas. It was super frustrating. I finished out my afternoon doing data entry at the Meyers Center, which is fine, but not exciting or too enjoyable.
But rehearsal last night was amazing. After an hour of working through the first four or five pages, Stevie gave me the reigns of those pages and three actors to work on it more while he blocked different scenes. There was chemistry and everything seemed to click. Stevie didn't have the same luck with his scenes, and unfortunately had to be the bad guy and bump someone from the cast. It is a high energy show, and it has to be that way across the board for actors. But all in all, it was a great first night of rehearsal. It made me feel good and refreshed.
Theatre has that effect on me. It makes everything seem better than before.
Until next time, find something that refreshes you.
