Sorry for the delay. Again. Ugh. Allergies. Anyway, Mary has to improvise a little here. I kinda feel for the kid who played Peter Pan.

- Brigid
- 'armpit of nowhere', North Dakota, United States
- I'm Brigid, not my birth-name, but the one I chose for Confirmation. It's a Catholic thing. Want to learn more about how I grew up? Check out my semi-autobiographical webcomic, Mary Quite Contrary. The closest I've come to earning a living as a writer is one summer I worked as a feature columnist for a small-town newspaper. I've been telling and writing stories my whole life, though, and, hey, it's something I enjoy. Whether I manage to make a buck at it isn't that important to me.

@Brigid: I know what you mean about the allergies. Oh well, better late than never.
Wow, that's what I call awkward. Especially on performing night...0_0
Oh, my. One of the thrills - or terrors - of live performance is realizing that the lead character has skipped to another part of the play.
Or, once in my case, to a different part of a musical section. Somehow, several dozen folks in the chorus changed gears and we finished the scene in synch.
And, yes: Sympathy is a good response. Thanks for sharing this.
@Journo: Ugh. Misery loves company, but I do sometimes wish not quite so many people understood what I'm going through.
Live performance is a great way to practice thinking on your feet.
@Dad: Ouch. Thank goodness for a fast acting/thinking chorus.
The kid was, what, maybe 14? And obviously uncomfortable. One wonders if it was even his idea to try out for the play. You're welcome.
LOL!
Reminds me: when doing My Fair Lady back in the Day, the lights came back up during a vignette of scenes and Pickering is NOT in his chair! I glance to the wings and see him standing there, rather nonplussed, and in costume for the next scene! And we have dialog in this one! Fun stuff. My Eliza and I carried it off successfully, and no one noticed. Hehehe
Yea! New Comic! Hope your allergies are soon under your control rather than the other way around! ;-)
@Tenacious: Seems just about everyone who's been on stage has an experience like this. Gotta love live entertainment! (Allergies are getting better. And worse. And better again.)
@Brigid: Ah, well. That's one way people make friends, I guess. They commiserate and compare each others miseries, then they take it from there.
In the meantime, have a kitty *puts a kitten on your head*
@Journo: Kitty! *snuggles* *sneezes*
@Brigid: Heheheheh, works every time. ^_^
