i did it!
was reviewing lines until the very last minute. got a few chuckles from the audience, felt good just to get it out there. and now i feel comfortable and have a base to work with. i think i can be more present, which will make it more honest.

its truly amazing how this whole process works. its really only by doing it, performing, that you can get anywhere. the audience is everything, in a way.

i didn't have anyone i know in the audience, which is good for a first run through. i spoke to a guy afterwards who was a friend of another performer friend and he gave me some feedback which was great. he said it worked overall and the parts about my dad were hilarious and tied in well. i should've asked him more about what didn't work, but oh well. tomorrow will be a new experiment!

i want to add in:
singing/lip-syncing to the song & dance part
maybe some movement to the monologue?
my hula hoop

theres a group of people coming to see me tomorrow, which makes me nervous and excited.
woo hoo!!!
