Cast!

Yes, after the excrutiating waiting period of twenty-four hours, I am cast in Comedy of Errors! I am Dromio of Ephesus, the witty and much-beaten servant of Antipholus of Ephesus, and twin brother of the lovely Frances, who will be Dromio of Syracuse. This pleases me, and I'm actually quite flattered to be Frances's opposite, she's so fantastically talented.

I'm also doing costumes for this show. Sheena's plan is to have traditional Elizabethan costumes with the props and everything else being anachronistic. Heh, I'm playing a guy again-- I have played only one female part on the Brandeis stage, and seeing as that was the sin of Greed embodied, I'm not sure it really counts --so my threat to cut the stomach out of my costume just 'cause I can is sadly empty now, or else come off as a very unmanly Dromio. For all the men I've played onstage, affecting a masculine presence is a real challenge for me. I have a high girly voice and a build that's somewhat on the delicate side, so unless my acting is phenomenal-- uh, yeah --some suspension of disbelief is required. 

Now I'm curious as to who my Antipholus is. I imagine he'll have to beat me. Must harass Sheena for the rest of the cast list.
