Besides the juicing (where they cut themselves to bleed) you have some great coreographing, carefully written stories (I was going to say well written but sometimes...), comedy (DX), amazing atmosphere (Undertaker's entrance is amazing live with "lightning", fog, his eerie music...). So yeah, anyway enough rambling.
yeah i went to see wwe and ecw and it was pretty much a pantomime....tho it twas strange when victoria came out and her music goes 'i aint no lady' so i shout 'i is a man!' but the bloke infront of me turns around and says infront of his two young chilren and his wife that there the best pair of man boobs he's ever seen.....then theres the little boys next to me shouting for mickie james to take her top off....how astute!

........and dx are damn funny

The last couple days for me have been spent on the other side of the curtain, doing what I love best.

The theatre group Im a part of has been working on an original adaption of Treasure Island, and today was our first performance. We did 2 shows in the morning / afternoon that schools were invited to, and a public performance this evening.

All three shows went AWESOME...had pretty good audiences for all 3, and nothing major went wrong. A few minor things of course, but thats the beauty of theatre...nobody noticed a thing:cool:

We have a matinée tomorrow, then we're all finished:(. Soooo much fun though, I've been with this company for 4 years and am part of their "advanced" performace group, which is an incredibly talented bunch of young actors.

I play Dr. Livesay, incase any was wondering:cool:

That's great. I'm glad it's going well. There's nothing quite like it when everything's flowing and all the pieces dovetail... you really can lose yourself.

I did a tiny part in a one nighter earlier this year, but it was still a blast.

Hope something goes screwy in the performance tomorrow, something to make the run memorable!

Break a leg!

Heh...well one of our lead actors didnt show this morning so the director's husband (who wrote the script) had to fill in....He was the narrator, Jim Hawkins 20 years or so after the events of the story, writing everything down as a book. So thankfully had had a good reason for having a script with him on stage the whole time:p. He did a great job, but it was certainly memorable, heh.

the fuck-ups are always so much fun. Love seeing someone a little under prepared have to step up to the plate, they usually deliver big-time.

I took a blow to the head once and had to stay on stage and sing four more numbers with blood dripping from my hairline - it was awesome.

Wow man - thats incredible.

You're right though, the fuck-ups are ALWAYS fun. Especially trying to cover them without the audience realising you fucked up:p.

My favorite role I've ever played was Scrooges nephew Fred in the Actors Theater of Louisvilles version of A Christmas Carol.

The guy who played Scrooge (whom had never acted before, but the director knew him) forgot his line in my first scene on opening night. He was sitting there, staring at me mouthing "help me." It was like a deer in headlights. I had to improv it while trying not to burst out laughing. It was awesome. Man, I miss doing plays. I need to get back into that.

Christmas Carol is an awesome play...I was Peter Cratchit in a production of it last year:)

I tried to reunite the cast for a 10 year anniversary of the show. Only about 2 members seemed interested though, so I don't think it's going to happen. It'd be really cool if it did, though.
