Take a picture of your reflection.
During the final night of Ten by Ten (which was actually an afternoon), I carried my camera around and snuck photos of the cast. One of my roles required me to sit in the green room for a half hour, having latex prosthetics applied to my face, so most of the shots I took before the show began were of my transformation into that character, but once the makeup was finished, I was able to get shots from other backstage vantage points.
The shot I've uploaded here is of the third character I played, in a segment called "The Idiot's Guide to Classical Music," by Doug Reed. In it, I got to play a rather tuneful bellhop who sings his way into a young bride's ... room. La la, indeed.
What did you do this weekend?
I am acting in the fifth edition of Ten by Ten, a festival of ten-minute plays. We opened this weekend, and have seen some really nice audiences for the four nights we ran, so I'm looking forward to more strong houses next weekend.
This is the third year I've done Ten by Ten. I seem to only work the odd years. I acted in a play called "Yes, Mamet" for the inaugural year, and two years ago I acted in three plays in the festival, "Measuring Matthew," "Hating Beckett," and "On the Natural Form."
This year, my plays are "Physics," "Saver," and "The Idiot's Guide to Classical Music." The latter is a sung, or hummed-through piece with no dialogue. It's a lot of fun.
That was the bulk of my weekend; I spent the rest of my time in Durham. Saturday afternon I bummed around Ninth Street, had lunch, coffee, and took it easy. Last night I went with a friend to see a play at Manbites Dog.
