what the puppet?!?

two full weeks have been completed in rehearsal...quite a challenge. i feel like i'm still trying to figure out just the basic world of our windsor. okay; there are the wives and their husbands and the rest: PUPPETS!!!!! i must say, the puppeteers, as i not intentionally clump them into a 'group', are amazingly fun inventive warm VERY cool not to mention hugely talented folks and a lot of fun to be around. just the other day, delia (who's playing mistress ford) said to me that she was in the green room and thought, 'bummer, i never get to have a scene with _____' whoever it was that was in the green room at the time. and then she realized that we do have scenes with them; they are the one's making the puppet come to life.
ah, we simple actor folk, so spoiled with being able to interprit scripts with ordinary mortals. ( i guess some of those can be stiff too.) on one hand, there is the challenge of learning to live in our world of windsor, and on the other hand? i haven't even begun to imagine what it must be like to work a puppet, although it does seem more than kinda fun.
i gotta say, it's such a talented group. we're lucky people on this one. it could potentially be horrific. lots of super smart people on board. not afraid to pitch in on the creative process of it all. healthy healthy egos, which i always appreciate. no one seems to be trippin' at least. i just gotta put me nose to the grindstone, and work. it took me a bit longer to get on board, buy into it, i guess. me? playing with puppets? in a comedy? everything that might make the cheerful person maybe even downright happy. me? i'm weird, what can i say. got me kinda grumpy and a whole lotta insecure. funny does not come naturally to me, in my opinion. i think mr daniel's mighta held another opinion, hence me showing up for rehearsals, eh?
okay, now that i got the niceties outta the way, i'm gonna try to make this bloggy thing a part of my routine. believe me, you didn't want to read anything i had to say up to just a couple of days ago. i was challenged beyond happy, inverted to a kinda weird that just ain't attractive at all...
day off today...for some...aaaahhhhh...
