Things I Know to be True

That’s the name of the next play that I’ll be in.

It’s written by Andrew Bovell.

It’s a family drama and I play Bob, the father of four kids.

We start rehearsals on February 4th.

I’m looking forward to it.

I have worked with or know most of the people involved in the show.

I usually lean towards more comic roles, but this will be a bit of a stretch.

There are some comic aspects but there are some serious bits, too.

This is what I know to be true:

I will intend to work on my lines before rehearsals start.

But I probably won’t.

I won’t read the play enough.

But I’ll read it more than I usually do, when preparing for a role.

I will want to work out a little because I take my shirt off in the show.

But I will put it off until it’s too late.

I know that I will work harder on this role than I usually do.

I’ve worked harder on the last few roles I’ve played.

Am I maturing or something?

I know that I will have fun playing this part.

I know that it will be a good show.

And I know that it will be over much too quickly.
