the end of the run
Tonight is our final performance of L’imitation of Life. As always, the end of a run is a mixed bag of emotions. On one hand I’ll be happy to get my life back. On the other, despite the fact that there were only six performances, I’m going to miss being in-show.
There’s something about going through the motions as a group that is delightful. Each performance changes a bit, and each adjustment helps you find something new. For me, that’s the challenge. Not to mention putting on a face and wigs and dresses and heels. I like the drags, and I think I like the drags on stage even more. But I hate shaving my face. Go figure.
Richard Bluestein videotaped our performance last night, so hopefully I get to watch myself acting and giving face on stage. I hope my makeup was good for the lighting we had…
