Panic ATTACK!

Ok I think now I am starting to panic a little…..I don’t know what to start with, where to go etc. Do I look at that script I have an audition for Sunday? Do I work on my script for the show I am in right now (since I have to put in the Beats and my characters Actions which is work I really find difficult)? OR Do I re-read, for the millionth time, The Soldier Dreams and Remembering Shanghai (the shows Tim and I are directing). There is also that application Maureen wants us to submit for the Playwriting unit at GCTC (although I don’t fancy myself a playwright we do have a couple of good play ideas). There is starting to be too much going on, and I PRAY for my PEI vacation so I can lie in a hammock, drink wine, eat Lobster, walk with dogs on the beach, play boardgames with my folks, and act a little in a “spa for your talent” acting workshop at the PEI Conservatory. (although I’ll still have to memorize my Playing Bare lines, and go over the One Acts with Tim while there….we will find time….I hope).

In the mean time, I am looking at a potential schedule to start rehearsing our One Act Plays for Tototoo theatre and it’s sort of freaking me out a little. It’s tough enough scheduling a biggish cast with all the conflicts, but when you and your husband are directing, you have two active Terrier dogs, and another play on the go, a house to keep clean and all of lifes 'stuff'….it’s a bit stressful. Then I brilliantly decided to register for Ken Godmere’s OSSD Improv Summer Jam on Thursday nights – which is fine and will be fun, it’s only until the end of August but I will also have Playing Bare rehearsals, and a few Tototoo rehearsals to plan for. Also Tim and I have to break down the plays into beats (which seems easier at first glance then most plays I’ve tried). Ya, that is a lot…FREAK OUT.

THEN, I have 2 big auditions this weekend – one Sunday, and one Monday….if I get the Sunday gig I may have to bow out of directing for Tototoo..but it might work, and I’d have to take the paid gig as my priority so that is fine, but I’d feel bad. Especially since I adore the plays….and I wouldn’t be able to go to Hilton Head South Carolina in November. If I get the Monday Workshop (Shakespeare thingy) it’s a free workshop however will be Sunday Afternoons – I guess we have to rehearse the One Acts Sunday evening then.

Oh ya, and then there is my day job…….in which I hope to find enough time to do the stuff above…hee hee.

Then to top it all off I discover Tim’s Uncle Tony is staying with us July 23rd to the morning we leave for PEI…….

OK, can’t wait for Xmas to relax…..I only hope my blood pressure doesn’t go up and I have a heart attack before then!
