Hi Blog. It's me...Emily. We haven't met yet, but I figured I'd give this public speaking forum a shot. I don't know how funny it'll be, but if you never try anything new, you never learn, yes? YES. And if it's a failure of epic proportions, well, I guess I won't step in THAT pile of dung again, now will I? Well, maybe. I'm kinda monkey-like, so I might.
But I digress...
We just started rehearsals for New Line Theatre's "I Love My Wife" this past week. I'm thrilled to be in another show with New Line - always ridiculous fun with this company let me tell ya! I'm particularly thrilled because the material is new to me. I mean, I know it was written awhile ago and I probably should have investigated it at some point...but I didn't. So it's brand new and exciting material to be working on over here.
In a nutshell, 'I Love My Wife' is a musical about two wacky couples deciding to try wife-swapping (see Scott Miller's blog for a more in-depth description!). I have the pleasure of playing a character named Cleo (one of the wives). I'm really looking forward to exploring her perspective and what she represents as a social example of how other women/people shared her thoughts at that time in American history. We all know the 70's in America was a turbulent, crazy time...so I really look forward to tapping into it.
Now, more importantly...where's a good place to find bell bottom chambray jeans?
Keep it groovy.
