I'm playing the part of Murray in the Odd Couple production. It's different though because all of the actors on stage are deaf - and the voice actors are off stage interpretting. Funny, I have a large part, and I don't even know sign language.
This should be very interesting... But I do have a script finally, and I'm going to meet with the deaf guy playing Murray some to match up inflection and stuff. In a way, it's not really easier than being up on stage, because I almost have to pretend that it is me, and more of what I'll be "interpretting" is his attitude anyway.
The other voice actors weren't there last night, so it was just me and all the stage actors... That was a little uncomfortable - being around a group of people with no ability to communicate - but finally one of the guys told me he was just hard of hearing (probably like 80% or so because he still has a speech impediment), so that was a relief... We chatted a bit about school here and all. Told him I was writing a screenplay, and he seemed to really dig that. Good times, for real.
We went through about half the play last night. (it's 2 and a half hours.)
Oh, and in other news - I might be moving to NJ in September. Dave Jensen had the idea because one of his roomies is leaving then to go to Bible college. I dunno - it's still a stretch, but I already got the OK from mom. We'll see...
