Exhausted. Frustrated. Hopeful.
We just got back from our practice tonight. NO JOKE. We logged in about five hours since our 6:30pm meeting time. The 13 of us were scattered among the tables and floors in these last minutes, listening and straining to make note of Marvin's last comments on the "Frog Prince" performances. It all can seem a blur when its late and you want to go get rest, but we pushed forward together - confident that things would come together sooner or later.
I wished I felt so confident.
We did our first official run-through of "Lions" and while the first four scenes held up decently, the fifth act collapsed like a deck of cards. The dialogue between Edwin and my characters' was quite extensive and dense in storytelling. So when one line was skipped, it was hard to recover and continue. I ended up needing more line checks than I expected and it was painful to hear what you're supposed to say all along. Needless to say, both of us were frustrated. Marvin was gracious enough to add his comments and work with us to capture the emotions of the scene. But there was still work to be done and I'm feeling the pressure.
Please keep us in prayers to nail down these lines and make for a good finale in "Lions".
I am scared.
I am not giving up.
God, empower me to press on and get it done right.
