I was shocked! He was 84 and had been dealing with multiple health issues. He was a fighter though, so I always thought he would keep going. I thought of the play and what an experience it was because it was a huge part of AIDS history and all he did to support it.<br /><br />Yes, I did see on HBO that there is a documentary coming out in June.

And I'm glad you said that because before I did the show people were trying to convince me by saying, "What's the big deal? I'm sure you've worn bathing suits that were more revealing than a pair of underwear briefs!" But it's the principle of the thing, a bathing suit is a bathing suit, but underwear are UNDERWEAR.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend.

As a kid, (and even as an adult) I'm very shy and modest. However, when I was onstage, I could do pretty much anything. And it's not that I didn't feel apprehensive or scared, but I did it anyway just to prove to myself that I could do it. Also, when you're acting, you're not yourself...you're someone else. So you can hide.<br /><br />OMG...when I saw that wet spot on my undies and the stage manager called, "Places!", I panicked. And the first thing I saw was someone's blow drier, so that's what I grabbed, and blew! LOL!<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying a great holiday weekend, my friend.

That said the parts about the blow dryer and the wadded toilet paper were so funny and believe me I was almost trying to imagine the scenes.

And I don't care how long I performed in a show, the stage fright never left me. Yet, once I actually got out onstage and started saying my lines, the fear diminished. <br /><br />I never understood they actors who claimed that they NEVER had stage fright. Even Sir Laurence Olivier said that he had terrible stage fright.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend.

It made me want to do it even more. But I did know that if I was going to do it, I needed to get used to disrobing in front of people immediately. Which is why I asked the director to let me start doing it as soon as I could.<br /><br />The play was called, "The Normal Heart" I wrote about it last year when I shared photographs on my blog of various plays I was in. It was a play based on a true story about AIDS in New York during the 80's. And no, I did the play in Orlando, Florida. <br /><br />Glad you had a laugh, and I hope you're evening and weekend are faaaaabulous!<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by, girl!<br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-63160130987673070792020-05-22T20:51:20.950-04:002020-05-22T20:51:20.950-04:00Ron!!!!

And I don't care if I in the most perfect shape, I still couldn't do it. <br /><br />If I can ask, what was the name of the play you were in? I would love to know.

And what is so ironic was that when I went online to try and find pictures of gray Calvin Klein underwear, I never thought I would find the same style underwear that I wore in the play. But, there they were...exactly the same!<br /><br />Yes, crazy stuff happens all the time when you perform live. But you're right, most of the time (unless it's a huge mistake) the audience is never the wiser. It's the actors that get so upset about it because you think it's obvious. And trust me, I've have many mishaps onstage during my time in the theater.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, neighbor!

Ok, you will not believe this, but last night I was asking my husband about urinals at work because he is going back to the office. We were talking about how they might have to tape some off for social distancing and then I started asking questions like, "Is there a drip factor with your dress pants?" This cracked him up, but I really didn't know if it was an issue. He claimed he shakes it off before putting it away! LOL!!!

I was working for a theater company in Orlando, Florida. <br /><br />I wish I had the courage to do stand-up. I enjoy conquering my fears, however, stand-up is a fear I honestly feel paralyzed about. That's why I so admire stand-up comedians. It takes a lot of guts to go out there and stand alone.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, Candice.
