Press night Joe Carstairs /  by Sarah Deller

It’s been such a delight to appear as a chorus member in StoneCrabs’ Joe Carstairs. As soon as I saw the opportunity (insta, thank u for coming through for once!) I knew I wanted to be part of such a fun show about a queer icon! Tonight is press night @ Omnibus Theatre. Just so nice to be onstage with a group of great people :’)

Joe Carstairs, by Franko Figueiero and Krysia Mansfield, directed by Selwin Hulme-Teague and Tobyn Lexi, opens tonight at Omnibus Theatre and runs til June 22nd. Tickets and more info!

The Seagull rehearsals /  by Sarah Deller

I love this play so much. 

We were working on Act I and Act II today. I think they went well, although there's still a few things I really need to clean up. Also I was really screwing up my lines, which is unusual for me - I'm still not sure why that happened. I am also getting nervous for Act IV - and I know my nerves are not helping. 

I wish I could devote all of my time to The Seagull. It's so hard to keep up with school. But I need to put so much work into Act IV. 

I live right by the waterfront and usually I'm down on the boardwalk constantly, but since the winter has been bad and I've been so busy, I've barely been down at all. I sat there for almost an hour after rehearsal to clear my head. I realized how much I love living by the water and suddenly I started connecting to Nina in all sorts of new ways. And then some seagulls started flying overhead, and I thought, alright, time to go home. 

PS I added some new photos to the Backstage section!

Right now I have a huge, overwhelming, passionate desire to do theatre. To make something right now. To instantly have my own theatre company and create my own work. But there's only so many steps I can take today to make that happen. And that is extremely frustrating. I want to be working right now.
