Metamorphoses
Apr. 8th, 2008 11:16 amWe just closed our spring production at SCC, a show which kept me so busy I haven't had time to post about it before now! It was Mary Zimmerman's METAMORPHOSES, based on Greek myths from Ovid. Here's our publicity photo of Eros and Psyche. I love this play unreasonably. I went to see it when Nearly Naked Theatre did it in Phoenix last December and I was so very excited to find out SCC was doing it this semester.
I signed on as ASM. I feel like I know the script backwards and forwards now, I've given so many line notes. And I got fairly soaked every night, because the set for this thing is a pool, and during the run I was constantly wet-vac'ing carpet and tossing a load of towels in the dryer.
This is the first show, theatre or film, I've ever worked on that on every day of work, every night of performance, despite any backstage crises or ordinary drenchings, I loved. Constantly. Most work I've done has time, somewhere in the grueling hours of frustrations, when you hate what you're doing and you wonder why you got involved in the first place and you want it all to be over. I never felt like that about this show. I love this show. I mean, sure, I got frustrated by wet rugs and the like, but I never asked myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" because I knew. I love this script, I love our production of it, I loved getting to see the process of rehearsals and how it all got put together, I love this show.
