Let's see... lol As you know this is the week for my fall play, "The Aliens Are Coming! The
Aliens Are Coming!".. which is an ok play but too elementary for me, but there are several
new people that this is their debut so the director decided to do it this way. Anyway..
Monday starts off with my best friend getting a note from her boyfriend saying I fell out of
love with you and I'm in love with your best friend.. anyhow.. so he breaks up with her and
start lovie dovie with this persons best friend.. so now this ex-bestfriend's social life is gone
and there was a fight back stage the other day with someone and her.. oh my! Sounds like a
soap opera? I'm going to write a play about this...
Next, we have this kid that has never acted an ounce in his life.. it's his debut, so he's
new and we try to help him out. Anyway we're during a dress rehearsal and we accidently
skip a page, that's ok no problem right? So we keep on going three pages after, "We
skipped a page!!" yells the kid.. and were like staring at him and saying just go on.. "but it's
my page!".. Big deal we all say.. so after the scene is over he bursts off crying and
complaining and cusing at us.. "Improvise without me why don't you!!" locks himself in the
dressing room, takes his costume off then leaves the building telling someone off on his way
out. Today he gets his make up on, goes to the mirror, say "Hmmm.. why do I have to be
the muddy one!!! This is bull crap!! For god sakes!" and bursts off... Now tell me. lol He has
no reason to be so snobby if this is his debut and i've done 50 other shows ya know? And
people say that i'm the only one that keeps my cool and goes along with everything! Ah well..
hehe Got to go to bed.. long week.. I wonder what will happen tomorrow! How about after
the big make out scene in front of the aud with the back stabber, can you say, "Murder in the
dressing room" hehe I hope not! But you don't know how mad my friend is! Bye for now!

Sorry but that's quite funny! Our fall show just closed and we had a few new
people too...we didn't have any tantrums like that but there was some tension
and stuff between the cast every now and then. Plus some of the newbies who
had never been onstage before did things that annoyed me SO much...but I
dealt with it. :) -Eric

hey...i can relate to that. we recently did a show called the clumsy custard
horror show. it is basically a parody on science fiction. it was really
great. but anyway...there was this guy there and this was his first show.
the rest of the cast is still convinced he was cast only because of temporary
insanity on the director's part. he couldn't act at all. and he was soooo
mean to the rest of the cast. he was convinced he was better then everyone
else. he refused to wear his costume for awhile because he thought it looked
gay and thouhgt his character should look like hitler. and there was this
one scene where he was supposed to kiss his partner in crime (who happened to
be played by my best friend) but he didn't want to. and it was only gonna be
a stage kiss! but he refused because he has a girlfriend. my gosh! it's
only a stage kiss! and at one rehearsal she tried to show him what he would
have to do...he backed away, fell over backwards, and then continued to scoot
away. and only because he has a girlfriend. that's just insane. and he
would ask someone to have a sip of their coke...and proceed to drink half of
it. and he hit one of the other cast members...who happened to be a girl.
and you just don't hit girls! she didn't do anythign either. the rest of the
cast saw. and several times during the performance he dropped character and
yelled at other people on stage. everyone hated(or excuse me...hates) him.
at the cast party we were all singing and people started saying that they
didn't like the song we were singing, so just about everyone quit singing.
then he kept saying he hated that song and if we didn't stop he'd leave. so
someone shouts "hey! i know you guys don't like this song, but if we sing
loud enough he'll leave!!!" so we all continued to sing. it was funny. he
got this stunned look on his face and says "you guys don't like me do you?"
he never realized it! anyow...this is really long...so i'll stop now. but i
can relate to your problem. maybe he'll get over it. maybe...
