So I'm in a play. It's called Herd 'Em Through The Grapevine, a comedy/murder-mystery/dinner theatre with a company I work for called Lagniappe. I worked with them briefly back in 2006 (6 years ago? Where does the time go?) They're a great group of people and I'm glad to be with them again. I did a show with them for the holidays called Dismay in Manger and I played the mayor's wife/widow, a social ladder climbing prissy pants woman, who had a love affair with a stagecoach driver! I was not the killer. But I could have been! It changed every weekend, but was never me. Anyway, in Herd 'Em I play a teetotaling, temperance-preaching woman named Imma Nothavinany (ha ha- get it?). All of Lagniappe's shows are set in the "wild west" in the late 1800's but with random current references thrown in for laughs. Usually everyone has a ridiculous Texas accent, which is always fun. This time around, my character is from the East Coast, Boston to be exact. I really didn't want to be Bostonian, especially because the script writers don't even know why she's from there. Just because I guess. To be different? Anyway, I needed to do something with her voice that wasn't southern and what I've come up with basically sounds like Wanda from Fairly Oddparents. No joke! It's a lot more fun now :-)
I was going to write about my teaching job but in the middle of all this I walked and played with the dog and had lunch. Now I'm tired! Time for that list...
