I count myself doubly blessed since this is my first professional theatre job and I couldn't have asked for a better 'cast of characters'!
Driving into Dorchester everyday has been delightful (insert groan of frustration here). I'm glad i'm saving money by living at home though, and more importantly I get to enjoy my family a little bit longer, which is a great reward after being away at AMDA so long.
The Uphams Corner rehearsal space is incredible. I mean, it's a fourth floor walk-up and is deteriorating rapidly with paint peeling, water damage, un-drinkable lead pipes, and no AC, but the bones are stunning. It is a one time masonic hall, with a huge old ballroom that had been converted to a basketball court somewhere along the way and is now a dusty, well used theatrical space. I especially love the incredibly large, gracefully arched windows and the soaring ceilings. Those masons certainly had a good thing going.
Let me say now that it is my goal to blog about this wonderful and exciting era in my life at weekly intervals throughout. I'm not making PROMISES per se, but that is my aim. You all got cjheated out of sharing the Acting School experience with me, and I don't want to let this go undocumented. Most everybody is taking their Lappies with them on the tour, so I'm seriously reconsidering that idea myself. Of course, Dad has the final say on the subject, I suppose. :)
More soon I hope-
By the way I'm right near ladder company 21 Uncle Tommy, If that helps you place my locale.
Oh, and, I felt like I was seeing a spoof about boston the other day when we all got to witness a one-of-a-kind collision outside the rehearsal hall the other day: a T bus collided with a Duck Boat! They were going about 2 miles perhour collectively, but nonetheless no fewer than 5 boston P.D. cruisers responded to the scene. I think they just didn't want to miss out seeing something so priceless.
