too bad I gots a 9-to-5
TheatreWorks called me today with a strange offer: appear in a school tour of area high schools.
In a hiphop version of Shakespeare. It would've been 4-6 weeks at $400/week.
The ghost of Shakespeare appears in front of an average high school student... I was fairly driven to take the job just on principle -- damn that job of mine. I was having visions of saying lines like
I'm the hardest mothafucka in Denmark...
Maybe I should stick to saying the stuff that other people write.
Anyway, they also want me to audition for an Arthur Miller production going up next year. Should I get it, it'll be wonderful to do drama again -- I always love period pieces.
Kick ass -- a play that I've never read before (although there are many in that category) being put on by a company that's put on some incredibly well-received performances before.
