9-4-07
The first Wednesday of every month Tony & Tina's does a Matinee. It's a nice change of pace from the night shows and it gets me a day off my usual boring day job.
The hard part about it is that since so many of the actors have day jobs, we always seem to be rushing at the last minute to get a cast together. And by last minute, I mean last month I got a call at 1am telling me I was gonna be Barry for a noon show the next day. I was up till 3am studying lines, and even went thru blocking that morning till at 11am, we got a Barry.
Now today I just got a call that I'll be playing the 46 year old father of the Groom, Tony Nunzio Sr.
So instead of watching the great Steve Trachsel make his Cub debut tonight, I'll be spending it learning blocking, backstory and my lines.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I'm getting a new role. Sometimes you just wish you had a little more time to prepare.
