Well, tonight’s opening night of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest at my college. Time to see if the cast has managed to pull itself together enough… we’ve had a few cast problems (the guy we got to play Billy Bibbit had a lot of trouble with his lines and character, for instance), but I’m confident that our audiences are gonna love it.
Oh, and for the curious, I play Ruckley… I get to stand with my arms outstretched like a crucified Chris (they gave me some pegs to rest my arms on, ‘cuz it’s hard to hold your arms up for ten-minute stretcheds) and I get to shout “FUCK 'EM ALL!!!” at the top of my lungs. Oh yeah. This is what bein’ an actor is all about.
Anyone in the San Fernando Valley wanna go see it? It’s at the Pierce community college off of De Soto and Victory, up at the performing arts building (on top of the big hill, you can’t miss it). Tickets are $12, I believe… showtimes are Fri. and Sat. at 7:30, Sun. at 2:00, for this weekend (Nov. 8th) and the next.
