THE COUNTESS IS A LITTLE WEEPY – Victoria Libertore – 4/21/10

Welllllllllllllll, back on top.  Had a little breakthrough in rehearsal today.  A good cry.  The Countess was so sad.  I really have no idea what’s going to happen when the show goes up.  I know how I could ‘play’ The Countess and be convincing and it could be a good show.  But, I don’t want to just ‘play’ her.  I hope to keep making discoveries and see what happens in the moment in front of an audience.  As Rosalie said to me today, ideally, I would have a three-week preview and get to figure out how it all comes together with an audience.  However, I open on Friday, run on Saturday and close on Sunday.  So, I’m just diving in the deep end.  Our tech went well.  Justin, Kayla, Jono and Jeff were all in at some point with Rosalie and I.  So lovely to bring all the people and elements together.  I’m finding some really fun aspects with all the weapons.  We are sold out on Friday and Saturday.  Still seats for Sunday last I heard . . .
