BACK TO THE FOOTLIGHTS


So my good friend, Dennis Purdie, called me a month ago and asked, or encouraged, or maybe even slightly pleaded with me to come audition for "On Golden Pond" for the role of Ethel opposite his Norman. I knocked it around in my head for a few days because 1)did I really want to give up all my evenings to rehearsal, 2) did I think I could play 69 and 3) how rusty am I really! Short story - I decided to force myself to do it. It's only the Pleasant Grove Players operating in a small theatre in the library building but I am glad I did it and I'm actually having a great experience. Dennis and I go way back to the days of "Harvey" so it's really comfortable and amazingly enough I am actually coming along with my lines - which Ethel has Tons! That never used to be an issue, but it has become one in this chapter of livin' So now I am trying to discover how I want to create Ethel's physical look. Saw Meryl, my idol, in "Evening" the other night and I think I have a base to work from now!! Maybe I have re-discovered I still have some greasepaint in my veins and not just Mountain Dew!!
