The Red Velvet Cake War

Every year, the O'Neill Friends of the Library hold a fundraiser.  They get a group of volunteers to put on a play and they do a dinner theater and a matinee.  And this year, yours truly is participating.

One night I got a call from Mary Miller who said that she heard I was a thespian.  Ha!  Drama Queen, yes.  Thespian, not so much.  But she thought I would be perfect for the part and she had me sold on it when she said that I got to fight her on stage.

It was a little scary saying yes, as I haven't acted since high school, and even then I don't think that I knew what I was doing by any means, I just got up there and said some lines.  But this time it is different.  I am totally feeling this part and I cant wait to portray her on stage.

I will be playing the part of Bitsy, a southern firecracker who is after a man whose wife has only been dead a week.  I am blingy, loud, man hungry.... ok, I am basically playing me but with a little southern drawl. :)

Our play is called "The Red Velvet Cake War"  It is the story of three cousins and the shenanigans that they get themselves into while trying to host a family reunion.  This is a laugh out loud hysterical play!!  It is so hard to keep a straight face in practice.  Needless to say, you should probably use the restroom before sitting down to watch our play.

I think what also makes it so great is that I am working with the best cast and crew that a girl could ask for.  They are supportive, funny, organized, and I feel like we are turning into a small family.  I seriously couldn't be working with a greater group of people.

So mark off April 28th on your calendars and stop by and support the library and us hard working volunteers.  I promise it will be well worth your time.

Oh, and I am still needing a fan club president if anyone would like to volunteer :)
