#ChapterTitle for my memoirs: "Wait, What?" Or, "The consequences of not reading a contract/script/castlist before showing up to the first day of rehearsal to surprises."

I signed up to audition for a union theatre. I'm fairly ... sanguine? About it? But as they say, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. My brain immediately brought forth 2 monologues from back behind my ongoing Wordle guesses, so I guess I have a right to sone confidence, then. #Blacktor #AEA
Produced a marvelous show at @theatreoffjackson, And I'm feeling very proud of the artist and the production team today! I'm going to not make myself go see someone else's show, I'm going to Stay Down, pay bills, and watch #DoctorWho

And that's that! #HulaHoopingQueen is ovah! Expecting glitter crash any second now. This play was so special because it dealt with hooping culture, girls getting along, intergenerational friendships and Responsibility. Nobody died or went to jail. Just a positive snapshot of #Harlem.

So. Actor home sick. Her understudy is sick. We put in the OTHER understudy, who read the lines from the ASL bay upfront. Full house of squirrely, tiny, under 10s with at least 4 vocal special needs kids. WHOOO! LIVE THEATRE!

Annnnd it's a 2 Understudy day! HERE WE GO, first school show at 10am. Luckily, one of them has gone in already last weekend, and the other is Solid as a Rock. She knows the entire show, not just her tracks. But still! Send good vibes!. #Blacktor #Blacktors #UnderstudyChaCha
And TBH: I have no patience for bad SMs. And I dodn't care why /if they f up. FIX IT. DO BETTER. DON'T DO THAT AGAIN. I'm at a point in my journey where I don't want to be part of 'training' someone who's getting paid more than me

Ok that's on me. I asked a costumer if it was time to change, but I should've asked an ASM when my next entrance was... whoops. We open Friday, there's time to get it right.

Doing DayJob work in the dressing room during a break, I rcvd. a vexing email. "Off is the direction in which you should fuck!" quoth a', earning the swear jar another $2 at least. #WorkingActor

As an actor, your job overall is to inhabit other people's vision, text, and other ideas. This is not me. This is Miss Evelyn.

"So, you want me to cross
stage, do a little light crowd work, and exit?" Is something I said at SeaChildrensTheatre rehearsal today. #Burlesquehost

It won't be the Speed with which I walk away from shitty situations, but the nonchalance, that will drive idiots mad in all senses of the word.

The giddiest moments of today: 3 min before rehearsal, and 12 min before the end, when the director decides to save Notes for tomorrow and you get early release.

@lauriekurutz.bsky.social delivered a stirring lecture on Black Vaudeville performers at #Burlycon2024! Glad to see another scholar sending out information about Black vaudeville! #shineALight #BlackVaudeville #Blacktor
Yep! The sketch I filmed for Dina Martina is currently playing in P Town allll summer, whilst I recline here on my couch in Seattle, Eating a veggie burger in front of a box fan. #Blacktor #Giggling
No one seemed to notice. They really should have. The complexion of that room was what I 'grew up' in, in the PNW. I was the Black friend. It was normalized that I'd be the only or one of, the only POC in any given room. Done with that, I really really hope. Because Ick. #Blacktor #NoMoreHighlander
1st AEA audition and subsequent callback in the books! Whether I book it or not, I'm pretty pleased. Even though I didn't successfully Hula-Hoop, I did the best I could, full stop. #BLACKTOR
