Zwounds!

So it has been my good fortune to develop laryngitis THE DAY WE OPEN ROMEO AND JULIET. It is terrible. I have 4 performances this weekend. Harvey Fierstein had a bigger range than I did last night. It was like running a 5k with shackles on your feet and dragging a bowling ball behind them. I gave the performance as best I could. It is not a good feeling knowing something is wrong with you. It is a worse feeling knowing the audience knows that there is something wrong with you. I have three more performances this weekend, and I am not looking forward to any of them. If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have auditioned back in May. But, such is life. The show must show on. [insert another pithy cliche here].
