HOW TO SURVIVE THE WEEK OF PRACTICES AND PERFORMANCES

1.  COSTUME – IF ALL ELSE FAILS COUNT ON EXTRAVAGANT COSTUMES TO BAIL YOU OUT.  IF YOU HAVE MINOR ACTING SKILLS LIKE ME, DOUBLE UP YOUR EFFORTS TO AT LEAST LOOK GOOD WHILE ACTING BAD.!

2.  BACKGROUND ASSET-  BE USEFUL BACKSTAGE WITH PROPS AND OTHER THEATER KNICK KNACKS.  IF YOU LOOK BUSY PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU ARE, SO DO YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKING BACKSTAGE WHILE HELPING GLUE THE LEAVES ON THE TREES.

3.  EXTRA, EXTRA!!- IF BEING ONSTAGE SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU, THEN DO LIKE I DO AND TAKE THE PART OF LEAST RECOGNITION.  BLEND IN WITH THE REST OF THE EXTRA CAST AND YOU WON’T FEEL EVEN A TINGE OF A BLUSH ON YOUR CHEEKS. 

4.  MAKE-UP APPRENTICE- THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BOOST YOUR MAKE UP SKILLS ON MANY DIFFERENT FACE SAMPLES.  GO CRAZY WITH COLORS.

5.  R &R-  IF PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT LEAVES YOU TIRED AND ENERGY DRAINED THEN USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO GO MALLING AND LOOSEN UP.  PASS BY THE MALL ON YOUR WAY HOME FROM PRACTICE BECAUSE HEY SINCE YOU’RE ALREADY IN THE CITY IT DOESN’T HURT TO SPEND A FEW MORE MINUTES JUST HANGING OUT.

6.  ENJOY!!-  THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH ANY KIND OF ACTIVITY IS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAVING FUN WHILE DOING IT BECAUSE THEN YOU WON’T EVEN KNOW IT’S OVER TILL IT’S OVER!  HAVE FUN!!
