If it ain't broke...

Soorry! I got my wisdom teeth out so I've been drugged up and not really writing or doing anything besides chillin and sleeping haha. I did my dinner theatre show on Saturday which was actually rather meh. The audience really put a damper on things and we could feel it. The smaller amount of people didn't aid either. ANYWAY, I got a note and it totally made me upset. I played the killer and it's supposed to be really obvious that its me in the end... However, because the room was sooo small, I had a target on my back from the beginning and so I didn't do my normal CRAZZZY woman act... and so I guess not enough people guessed me : (
Lesson learned: Don't try to be all artistic and adjust to a crowd. When you have a script that you are doing consistently and you find what works, DONT be creative, save the effort and just do what you've always done.... if it ain't broke don't fix it. Maybe there is something about similarity and tradition and efficiency that we Americans can always appreciate. Fine, easy. I can do it and beyond! It's almost like that moment when you get a note and you want to go sooooo overly in the direction of the note just to make a point, Next time I could be screaming and psycho! No one will even think to guess anyone else!!! I want to make it seem ridiculous and when the director has to humbly adjust me again, I can play dumb... oh actors, what great game players we can be.... in the BEST possible way of course ;) I think I'm just upset because I got a note for a script I've been doing forever. It made me feel incompetent and that upset me, like the host was looking for something to blame. Never the less, I will do the only thing I can in this situation and improve from here. NO MORE NOTES!!!
