I was in an opera (which was not an opera at all because no one sang) with Corey Ponder (who I know from Voices of Praise). It was the first rehearsal of the new semester and Dr. Shay emailed us that we would only be working on two scenes.
Well I get there, having practiced my two scenes from Tartuffe, and we start doing "A Christmas Carol" and everybody is aware of this but me. So I make up the lines and get the hell off the stage.
Corey has me make sure that what he's holding in his hand is appropriate to the character. I do, then walk off, then turn back and say: "This is just a rehearsal of two scenes right".
I swear, Corey's head starts spinning and he turns into a ninja. OK, he just looked at me like I was crazy and showed me the schedule that in fact we would be running the entire show. OK, if anyone knows anything about my level of preparedness for this opera, they'd pee themselves.
So, (not so) naturally, I fall into a stress induced sleep cycle and cannot wake up until I hear some weird Chinese instrument. I woke to Scurr playing his new China Tour souvenirs to his parents.
