A Cockeyed Optimist

There is something that I want more than anything. At least more than anything I have wanted in a very long time. I am ready to be on stage again. The last community theatre production I was on stage for was…um…a very long time ago. Even though it has been many moons since my last appearance on stage I have remained very close to my theatre family. In the last few years I have directed, choreographed, and assisted back stage.

Now, there is one show that I have wanted to be in every since I saw the movie as a child. It was a favorite of my grandfather, and thus and favorite of my whole family. I have given some not so subtle hints to the local director. Hints like, “…you know, I only have a few more years in me to play a sexy Lutellen.”

I don’t believe rumors in this town. People will tell you anything you want to hear. However, I have heard from more than one source that my dream may come true. Will I get the part I want? Doubtful. Let’s face it. I’m not nearly as young as I think I am. However, I plan to give it my best shot. Six months out. Preparation starts now.

So on this enchanted evening, while I’m still mending on the couch, I think I’ll have a Bloody Mary. ;) You like?
