If you just nodded your head in agreement with that last statement, maybe you should rethink what you post on facebook. Also, maybe you should begin working on identifying sarcasm. I'm looking at you, Sheldon Cooper.
Do you have a bucket list? I don't. Why should I make a list of things I'll probably never do? It's kind of a downer, really.
But if I did have a bucket list, one thing I might include would be to be in a musical, preferably on Broadway.
I'm sort of crossing that off my non-existent bucket list. It's not Broadway. It's not off-Broadway. It's not way-off Broadway.
It's local community theater.
Or theatre, if you're fancy.
I'm not fancy.
But you're now singing I'm So Fancy......you're welcome.
Superfrykid and I will be in the local theater's production of Two From Galilee, a Christmas musical telling the story of Mary & Joseph and ending in the birth of Jesus. We are in the chorus, which is pretty much our speed. No starring roles, no supporting roles, just the chorus.
This is our first foray into the world of musical theater. It started as a fluke. Superfrykid enjoys going to the Youth Theatre productions and said she wanted to be in one. The cost is $200, but I wasn't $200 sure she would like it. A friend told me that there were auditions being held for the Christmas play at the Apollo and they were taking a few kids for the chorus. And it was free. Being a cheapskate, I decided she could wet her feet with the free Christmas play and then go from there.
Little did I know I would have my arm twisted by a woman named Karen I would end up auditioning too. Several weeks later, we are now just getting ready to leave for our first performance. It's been quite an adventure and I hope that someday Superfrykid will look back on it and be glad she had a mom who wasn't afraid to make a fool of herself in public.
And.....we can't say "break a leg", because Superfrykid already did that in the middle of our practices. She fell and fractured her tibia so she's been on crutches practically the whole time. Tiny Tim doesn't make an appearance in this play, but a limping kid from Nazareth does.
I just pray I don't fall into the pit or walk out with my robe tucked into my shorts.
