how it went...

Patrick missed his entrance twice last night! Argh!! What is going on in his head? He was also slow with some of his lines.

Hilde and I covered but come on. I almost said "and where have you been?" But I'm too nice.

Nothing like working with an unreliable actor.

We also didn't have any pizza. There are about 5 million lines that hinge on this pizza and whoever was supposed to get it (REY) didn't. So everyone had to change everything...aye yi yi. So amateur.

Luckily, we only had an audience of about 10. I was only a little nervous, not like my first play. I wasn't even too nervous when Patrick didn't show up. I just kept BS-ing with Hilde. I even made a joke about how I'd thought I'd sensed him but maybe my TIMING was OFF. It could have been really funny actually, but that would have been another play. So then he finally shows up and I was like what the heck happened? (Or course, I didn't SHOW that...) Especially later - he's slow with his lines. My goodness. What is REALLY weird is that backstage Patrick always has his head buried in his script. I just do not get it.

Anyway.

Oh! One more thing. He f'd up some critical lines in our scene together. I don't know what his problem is. All he has to do is mean what he says. Not say things that don't mean anything. I can't exactly remember what he said but if I were an audience member I would've been "whaa??"

Oh, whatever.

I only coughed about 3 or 4 times backstage. And I really, really couldn't help it. I tried to cough as quietly as possible, too. I'm a considerate actress.

:(

I have to go back to work.

I miss people. Will you PLEASE come visit me? PLEASE??

Thank you.

Love,
MOI
