News from tonight's rehearsal of "The 91 Owl" is that I'll definitely be playing the Businesswoman, the Old Mexican Woman, and the Evangelical. Last one required that I translate her part into Spanish, which I've done, and I'll get to use a bullhorn as this character!
I am reaching out to my Hispanic friends to help me work on the Old Woman's accent - she'll be a bit like Carmen in "Real Women Have Curves," but older. As for my Evangelical - I will call on the powers of my Head Nun from "The House of Blue Leaves" to guide me through.
Director Gregg had me rehearse tonight with a new auditioner for the role of Chato, to cue him into a double-take. I improvised all the way and surprised them with a brandished sacred relic.
Calling All Actors: we still need at least 3 young Hispanic and African American talent. Any takers?
If so, drop me a note in the Comment Section below.
