opening night

 The show has officially opened and we had a large audience.  So far, no jitters.  I was a little concerned.  We don't, as a rule, wear glasses on stage.  In years past that was not a problem.  In fact it was a help.  With my glasses off, the audience area was a dark blur so I didn't feel like anyone was watching.  It was just another rehearsal as far as I was concerned.  Now, after some very successful cataract surgery earlier this year, I can see the audience.  Darkly of course, but still definitely more clearly than in  years past.  Another change.  In previous plays, with a different director, we weren't allowed to mingle with the audience after the play, until we were in street clothes when most people had left.  This time we were encouraged to go talk with people while still in costume, which means people got to see my little blue hat, fancy gloves and vintage dress close up.  Lucky them.  It was fun though.
