Last Saturday, June 6, I made my debut doing a totally scripted play (as in, I had to learn lines vs. improvising on stage) with the Mystery Company of Rochester. I played a feisty Russian chef named Madame Voldan. The performance was aboard the Grand Lady, which did a dinner cruise on the Niagara River. Was I nervous? You bet. Not only was I afraid I'd mess up my lines, I was also concerned about the safety of cruising on a river that eventually empties over Niagara Falls, and also possibly getting seasick. Turns out I flubbed some lines (phew! I don't think anyone noticed), we didn't get anywhere near the Falls (double phew!), and while I was wobbly on my feet I didn't feel seasick once (triple phew!). All in all, it was tons of fun, and I had a blast with the cast and the people on the cruise! Comments are closed.
