Saturday, Midsummer
So Saturday, as Jason and I were walking down 72nd Street toward the park, we were walking past the Dakota and guess who passed us? Yoko Ono!
Anyway, Saturday's shows were terrific--good crowds, especially for the second show (due to the sign, I'm sure) and the Roller Disco thing was MUCH quieter. Seth and Rachel came to the first show and at the end, when the fairies walk through the audience, they played a lot with both of them. Ryan also came, as did one of my co-workers. Michelle came and RAVED about the show--she said some extremely nice things about the show and everyone's performance. Paul also had some friends (relatives?) who were very complimentary afterwards--we were talking about Puck and I said he's a hyperactive kid, very mischievous and sometimes that spills over into disturbing, that there's a darkness there that's interesting to explore. One of them said "Okay then--you looked a little disturbing!" Which I loved--Puck is NOT safe, he is a little dark and disturbing. I was finding a lot of new beats in my Puck stuff--for example, when Oberon says "Thou see'st these lovers seek a place to fight:/Hie therefore, Robin, overcast the night..." I found a new way to play "Up and down, up and down,/I will lead them up and down..." I had a ton of energy for the show too. For the second show, Michael came, as well as my friend Amanda with some of her friends, one of whom had cast Patrick in something, but then he dropped out to do Midsummer. Mike and Holly were also there, as was Marion. Doug had called me between the shows--he'd been planning to come but had to pick up a suit for Jon and Joanne's baby's baptism, and didn' think he was going to be able to get there in time. We talked about getting together later that night. It started to spit a little bit during the second show but everyone in the audience put up their umbrellas and after a few minutes the rain stopped. No crazies for the second show this time, thank goodness!
Saturday was cooler than the previous weekend, which is probably why I had more energy at the end of the day. Jason, Chris and I went back up to my place to drop off stuff, and then we repaired to the Gin Mill. Mike, Holly and Marion were there, along with a bunch of cast members. I'd called Doug to let him know where the Gin Mill was--sometime after Mike and Holly left, he showed up! I introduced him to Silas, since both of them went to the same acting school at Rutgers.
