(Takes red Ball Gag out of mouth.)Ahhh...After a week or so of self loathing and self medicating, (We all have issues) I finally came up wit tha Testicular Fortitude to write about my latest...uh..adventures/bullsh!t missions.
March 13th and 14th (Always tha weekend, my exploits start.) was entertaining as hiznell as I got to watch a play, as well as perform in one.(Yeah kids, I'm an actor. Imagine them sh!ts.)
Saturday:
Not only did I have to prep for my own production, but Saturday night was tha production of "Love Won't let go" starring my brother Thespian (For black folks who did'nt take speech class in High School, and white folks in that part of Alabama that's to tha left, I did'nt mean Lesbian. Look it up GED candidates.) Dcapreeyo.
Let me say that "Love won't let go" was a solid production. It was such a breath of fresh air, to see quality Black theatre. (I know i'm supposed to say African American, but I came from Chicago/ Harvey Il. So i'd be lyin' by claimin' Africa. So i'll just be Black...Movin' right along.) Tha message of Faith being tha cornerstone of relationships was central message throughout tha production. Tha cast was was truly in synch wit that message.
From tha flowing script/storyline, to tha musical numbers, I found it to be a truly enlightening and entertaining piece.
Now...let's go to my night of Theatrical Extacy (Makes ya wanna lick ya lips in that "Naughty School teacher" way huh?...But I Digress.)
Sunday:
Was my perfomance in tha play "Bone Salad" (Hold up before tha jokes start.) It's based on Genesis, chapter 2 verses 23-25. (I know. Matt is in a Inspirational play. Thank God, tha director does'nt do background checks.)
I can't critique my own stuff. All I can say is I "Learned my lines, and hit my mark" (True actor's sh!t there.)
Chances are this won't be tha last time, i'll be steppin' on tha stage. I've actually been doin' this for a while. So i'll be gettin' my "Sidney Portier" on for a minute. Go to www.chicagoplaywrightelizabeth.com to learn more about tha production. (Ya know I gotta stay neutral. I got to hold on to tha little confidence, I have left. That's why I'll let you guys, be tha judge.)
Well..that's my weekend. As you can probably tell, I'm still decompressin' from doin' tha actin' thing. Don't think i'm givin' up this writin'/Bloggin'/Therapy for my inner demons thang anytime soon. But like with anything creative, you can only do it, when tha spirit moves ya. I'll keep ya posted.
