When I picked Eva up from school today she was all excited because her friend had come back from college to visit and she brought Eva a special apron that she had made for Eva. The apron says Costume Lead on it because that is what Eva is for the Fall production at Feehan. It is the perfect accessory for her as she is getting costumes ready for everyone in the play. It also meant a lot to Eva to receive this gift because she really looks up to her friend and enjoyed working with her, especially last year. Eva is pretty amazing in her own right and she’s been a great Costume lead for the Fall production. We cannot wait to see it.
On Tuesday night I did a thing. I saw that The Attleboro Community Theatre was holding auditions for The People vs. Frankenstein. I decided that I was going to audition. Mind you, I have not been on a stage since 1992.
I did not tell my family what I was doing nor where I was going. Allison had left for an event and I told Eva that I was going out and I’d be gone for a couple of hours. I’d tell her what I did when I got back. She pressed for more info so I told her it wasn’t dangerous or illegal and left. This did not sit well with her and she was more incensed when Allison got home before me and texted me where I was to which I immediately told her. I had already auditioned by that point. When Allison got the text she must have made an excited happy noise and then when Eva questioned her she told Eva that she’d let me tell her when I got home.
I hadn’t said anything because I wasn’t sure until my name got called that I would actually go through with it, but I did. I’m glad I did.
