The things one does for a show…

So a few weeks back, we were taking photos for our postcard/ poster. We wanted something provocative, because the show is very much so. We were doing a series of photos of me (Amalia, playing Georgie), John (playing Andrew) and Bryan (Playing Edward). The photos were of the three of us in a bed. Now, the photo shoot was pretty last minute so I was not so well prepared. I was wearing a sexy bra and top, but hadn’t really thought about my underwear because I thought it would just be from the waist up. So, sexy black top and pink cotton panties. Doesn’t work so well. So Ian (our director) asks Bryan if he has a pair of clean black briefs I can wear so at least the colors match since they want to get some shots with my legs in them. I’m like….”hold on, I’m gonna wear B’s underwear?”  Well, I did end up wearing them…over my own. Let me just tell ya…you know you are a close theatre company when you wear each other’s underwear for a photo shoot. We ended up with a lot of great photos, and some slightly creepy looking ones (which we didn’t use, obviously). My eyes are a light blue, so they often end up red in pictures….and I look slightly….um, devilish? Not so great for a provocative looking picture, let me just tell you. 

We have been rehearsing pretty intensely since the show opens in two weeks. Our dear Amber (playing Lydia) leaves for Italy on Monday and gets back right before opening so we want to make sure we are ready for stage with her scenes before she rolls to have an amazing time exploring and consuming mass amounts of delicious wine and cheese (jealous!) We hope Amber has an amazing time and look forward to rocking this show with her upon her return. Until then, it’s me and the boys. And my spike heels, of course.
