And Other Post Drama Production Revelations
I've had a few revelations when it comes to drama... (the theatre, that is)
1) Working with stage makeup is kind of like working with paints and pastels in Art. [ I did the make-up for the Frog Footman (carebear) and the Fish Footman, and actually had a lot of fun doing it.... and I'm still straight! 
I'll see if I can get some pictures ]
2) It's hard to get eyeliner off!
3) Cast parties are fun, but taking off your stage make-up at 1:30 AM is not.
4) It's worth every speck of effort to work on the play. I loved it, and enjoyed every minute of it. Along with that, I've made some new friends, and strengthened a lot of friendships.
5) Changing lines in the play is fun, and dangerous to your health 
(Then you'll see a large shrubbery! Then go round and round the shrubbery!)
6) The funniest moments come from the most unexpected places
All the pain and squeezed schedules paid off big time. I loved every moment of it, and I only wish I had found these things out sooner.
Peace,
Beebes
