I guess I should do a quick update? (don't worry I'm not going to bog you down with paragraphs of Theatre drama, I've been living that for the past three months.)
Life's been pretty stressful as of late, I ended up doing 'Rocky Horror' with the same Theatre that did 'Into the Woods' Although this time I was traipsing around in a corset and garter belt instead of my customary blacks. That show was...interesting to say the least. To tell the truth, I wasn't supposed to be allowed to do the show due to time constraints, but I'm glad I got to be in it none the less.
I was a phantom (the chorus) and it was the most amazingly freeing things I have ever done. If you ever get the chance to see the show or be on cast DO IT! It may seem a little weird at first, you may get molested by people twice your age, but the experience as a whole is worth it.
SO while I was doing that I was also the Assistant director for a school production of 'Battle of Angels' by Tennessee Williams. Again, one of the most stressful but most amazing things I have ever done.
I use that word a lot don't I? AMAZING!
Um, what else can I summarize? Honestly to much has happened for me to bring it down to a couple of paragraphs...
We're knee deep in Chicago right now, and I feel like I should be excited, but I can't fight the eternal feeling of inadequacy that seems to haunt everything I do. On the upside, one of my cast mates is attractive enough to make me care about going to rehearsals ;)
Other than personal things, I can't think of any particularly interesting stories to tell...
OH WAIT NO! I discovered I have latent painting abilities when I had to do a picture of a church at eleven o clock at night two days before opening. That was fun. I'll have to post a picture next entry.
Because I promised myself I'm not giving up on this!
Lovingly yours
Ashton
