Paraphrased but accurate phone conversation regarding junior class play at mr_t00by's school:

mr_t00by: So you know how we're doing Macbeth this year?

primroseburrows: Yeah?

mr_t00by: So, guess who I'm playing?

primroseburrows: Um. Macbeth??

mr_t00by: Yep.

primroseburrows: *squees and gushes uncontrollably*

primroseburrows: You'll be careful, right? Don't do anything dangerous like climbing on high ladders and stuff.

mr_t00by: Okay.


When Dorks Collide. It's not a pretty picture.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS.

Well, I did remind him to be careful and not go up on high ladders or do anything dangerous. He thinks I'm nuts. He may be right, but that's not the point. :)

Well, the more acting he does, the more he will find out about the "curse" of the Scottish play. I'm so bad that when the name of one of the characters (or the play itself) is an answer on Jeopardy, I won't use it (it's ALWAYS "The Scottish Play" in my house).

I did my acting in high school and college, but I don't think I got superstitious about TSP until college... which is when I played Ophelia in Hamlet. :D

He knows about the curse (being a Waldorf kid has its perks ;)), but he's 17 and doesn't care. I'm sort of supestitious about it myself, but I'm not IN the play, so I figure I can say its name.

You were Ophelia? How cool is that? I'm jealous.

I never say the name, even not being in the play... the superstition runs deep in my veins (I probably didn't care when I was 16, but maybe at 17 I cared.)

Yeah, I was 'Phelia :D It was teh awesome! We had a female Hamlet, too (a role which I was also up for, but didn't get, mostly, I think, due to my lack of stature. I'd have made a kick-ass Hamlet! Tho I did love my Hamlet, she was awesome...)

I think I posted a pic on my blog at some point... let me scrounge around.... it could take a minute or two...

Yay! I have to go back to work, but I'll take a look when I get home. :)

Hmmm... I found a review online: http://www.press-enterprise.com/newsarchive/1998/03/11/889574141.html

but I could not find pictures... I thought there was a picture of me in the archive of former productions at the theater page of my uni, but I can't find it...

It's a good review, whee!

[alexisyael.livejournal.com]
