Recently (March 26th), I had an opportunity to perform for the first time Live! I did my first Stage performance, well more of a Cafe but still live and in public view (because there was an audience).
This experience was one that I will never forget because it was exciting to go to rehearsals, which I quickly realized that doing theatre is more work than film, just because of all the preparation that is required. All that aside, it was a whole lot of fun, I had an opportunity to work with a good bunch of actors (Diana, Caitlan, Mike, Ricardo) and was directed by Martin from La Micro Theater. This also marked my first on stage/camera/modeling/etc., kiss.
At first when you think about having to do a kiss scene the butterflys come into play because you aren’t used to kissing someone you hardly know, at least I’m not, but when you get into character and realize that the scene and the character calls for the kiss then it puts all of those thoughts behind you and you just move forward. Not to mention, introducing yourself to the actress’ husband before you perform the scene helps improve your life span
… lol
So all in all, great experience, a lot of work went into preparation but well worth it. Hopefully I’ll get to do it again and invite more family and friends to attend to see me perform. By the way, I will also be putting up some pics from the show when I get them…hopefully soon
Next stop, no idea…talent manager, casting directors, etc…call me!
