Day 59: Hanging in the "Employee Lounge"

When I arrived Ms. Denise an Ms. Kris were using my computer to access Folio. They were going through the Guardians, and deciding when and who to send renewal letters to. My desk being in use I was happy to hang in the employee lounge. Which is actually a table and four chairs set up in the lobby, but has become known has the lounge (gosh, I'm clever :))

While in the lounge I decided to, of course, get some reading done. I have now finished seven out of eleven plays in the Humana Festival book. I then started another and have three and half more to be finished that compilation of plays. I'm very excited to get back into the other ones Ms. Denise pulled for me. I'm also going to try and get some more Shanley to read to prepare for his visit. Speaking of, the event is coming along nicely. Unfortunately though, Bruce and Demi will not be in attendance :( and I tweeted at Demi and everything! Oh well, the busy life of the business calls, really I was just starstruck there was a possibility! :D



The "lounge"



After I was finished lounging out, I headed back to the office. I had 20 more letters to print and send out until the box was finished. And so, that is exactly what I did. Of course now that all the letters are finally finished I headed to the post office to send out the last round! While on route to the P.O. I stopped at Express Printing to drop of the approved proof for printing, and then did my normal P.O. run. I had one more errand to run before returning to the office I had to stop at Jane's for stickers and brochure holders. Got the stickers, but no luck on the holders.

I  discovered when I got back to the office, the yellow stickers I had gotten didn't match the mail outs. The yellow for this printed a little more gold, than the bright yellow I was use to. So, another trip to Jane's was in the works. Until then I read the Sondheim article in American Theatre. It made me totally miss performing and especially Into the Woods. So I then preceded to research Into the Woods to satisfy my need to see a performance, and live through the YouTube video :)

I headed back to Jane's around one to do a sticker switch out. Ms. Denise had suggested clear, but no such luck. I opted for the white ones instead. I then headed to the Merriweather to prepare for my monologue work with Ms. Denise at two. I started with the Laramie piece and went through it several times, and then did the same with the Shakespeare piece. Once I had done that I went back and for the between them, and did some voice exercises. I tried to do what Beth had taught me, but I couldn't exactly remember it, so I did my own rendition. In the midst of my Shakespeare run through Ms. Denise came in and scared me! (not on purpose of course) But, now it was ready to work.

I started with the Laramie piece. After going through it a couple times and getting notes, I have more of a direction to go in the next time we meet. Same with the Shakespeare piece. Ms. Denise said I did really well, and both pieces are great pieces for me. I'm so glad I'm doing well with the pieces. Next week we are going back to my other contemporary piece, and at the end of May we are going to set up my final! I think continuing work with Beth and Ms. Denise will for sure produce great monologues for me in the future :) Future star here. Until tomorrow...
