So I will not be onstage in the Rocky Horror Show this fall. I was asked to do the costume design for the show and if I wanted, to be in the chorus. I have a meeting next week to discuss the design, but I politely declined the chorus role. Long rehearsals, lots of performances, for zero pay.... no thanks. Actually, the director will be playing the role she suggested I look at. Funny how things fall out.
The good news is that frees me up to work on shows for my company (which I'd rather be doing anyway). So... perform onstage with Jobsite and design costumes for a visually nifty piece like Rocky? Best of both worlds.
Would I cut all my hair off for a show? Like go totally boy cut/pixie do? That question was asked of me yesterday. And I had to stop and think. Hmmmm.... would I? Honestly, the huge mass o' reddish stuff growing from my head is a "signature" thang about me. Now, I have only ever had short hair once in my life (and all those pictures should be burned, BTW), but I've always wondered. So I told the director that if he wanted me, I'd do it. There are many other factors at play here... but it just really got me wondering... would I be like Samson and lose all my strength? Dunno.... interesting. I had a similar response last year when I was auditioning for a role that required full nudity. Hey, if the director thinks that is best for the show, then whatever. Now, I don't trust all directors everywhere to make those "best for the production" decisions, but there are a couple... and that's kinda nice.
And speaking of cute redheads.... here's a picture of my happy, smiley red dog Pugsley
Y'know... it's hard to be anything but amused when confronted with that face
