An Actor's Life For Me

Well, we did the Twelfth Night fundraiser last night. It was generally a good show, with kickass food, an auction, etc. We pirates screwed up the opening number, but other than that things went pretty smoothly. Travis (aka Commodore Wee Pecker) brought a couple replica pistols and some plastic caps - when you crammed the cap over the firing nipple and fired, it made a nice report in the hall. We worked the crowd between numbers and chased each act off the stage with some funny improv shtick.

I'm not sure how much we made for the theater company, but it was plain that folks were really being generous. Twelfth Night gives away all of its profits to local charities and community improvement projects, so this will be an annual event, to help replenish the operating fund.

I'm tired and sore, but it was a lot of fun, and I really feel like I'm continuing Samantha's efforts with this group (and in general).
