I bumped into a fellow actor on my way to rehearsal; we always bump into each other! We even talk about this for about 5 minutes, saying how we hardly see the other group we each know and how we only see the familiar faces during background work or auditions, rehearsal or performances. It's always great to bitch and moan about the acting biz with other actors, but alas, those moments are few and far between. Oh yeah, speaking of rehearsals, I was having a coffee when the director calls me with bad news: One of our actresses (the only other one in the entire cast of 3 left) doesn't feel like rehearsing so today's was cancelled. I so expected him to say the whole show was cancelled. I'm surprised this boat is still floating. The water is rushing in on us and we're still trying to make it to shore. This should be called, Titanic Productions. My heart goes out to the director; we were complaining about how there aren't enough black actors in this town nor enough support from the black community. So many of us belly-ache about this and do diddly-squat about it. We've self-prophesized ourselves to the point where we expect failures. Bah! There was an audition notice sent out for black actors and NOBODY ANSWERED! If this show makes it to the fringe, I'll blow him. I'd better train my gag-reflexes right now in case.
