Whose Line is it Anyway?
Chad and I are in show that we will perform in just over two weeks, (the most awesome one-act "Bird Icon" by Jim Lundy that we are bringing to Fast Fest in Cloquet) so I definitely need to be in line-memorizing mode. People often comment about how hard it would be for them to memorize lines, but I really never thought that much about it when I decided to give my community theater career a whirl. I think I blithely thought "Oh, I'm smart, I can memorize" or had a vague memory that it wasn't that hard for me to memorize lines back in the day when I was in high school. Well, who know what it was really like for me back then, perhaps I never really had all that many lines, or it was just much easier to memorize them because my brain was young and absorbent. Whatever the reasons, memorizing lines has turned out to be much harder than I ever remember it being or ever thought it was going to be. Going through a new script to highlight my lines is always exciting ...
