Tonight we performed in another Rendezvous production. I have been having trouble remembering my line. It certainly isn't rocket science stuff. I only have one sentence, during the Nauvoo militia scene where we are going to go out and fight the mobs. I carry a rifle and my big black hat. (I look like a Mennonite). But with all the action around and trying to come in with my words at the right time, I always forget some part of the sentence.
Tonight, Elder Rawlings suggested that I put the paper with my line written on, in my hat. It is on a paper about 2 inches by 8 1/2 inches. When we enter the stage we are wearing our hats. We then take them off and hold them. I was sweating a lot (worrying about my line, I guess), and I took my hat off and came time for my line, I couldn't find my paper, but it was ok. I remembered my line ok. We then have to put our hats on and march out as we are singing. When I put my hat on I suddenly found my paper. I found it draped over my bald head stuck to my sweat.
When I took my hat off and through my part I had this paper stuck to my head. No wonder people looked at me strange.
(Boy, I don't think I'm going to make it as an actor. Maybe they will have a three stooges part, or something)
I totally laughed out loud! I bet you were the hit of the show!
