Stage fright

[joegoda]

In a week, the first two performances that I have done in 2 decades will be under my belt. I have a terrible fear of messing up my lines. I never used to have this fear. In fact, I would march on stage like it didn't matter and it is quite likely that, back then, it didn't. I will say that this time around, this character of Fagin is bigger than any character I have ever done, including myself. I hope I end up doing him justice, and making him a fun experience for the audience. My heart tends to go just a bit pitty pat when I think about the upcoming weekend.

By the way, the first night, Friday, is Afterglow. Maybe some wine, maybe some cheese. Come nosh with the actors if you wanna.
