We’ve got two weeks to be off book for Things I Know to be True.

It’s that awkward time where you need your script in your hand.

But the script hinders your movement around the stage.

There’s line learning and movement learning.

And I’ve been a bit lax.

I’ve got rehearsals on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

On the other days, I should be memorizing my lines.

I haven’t been.

I’ve been slow to get started.

Tonight, I was working on them.

And I must accept the fact that I’ve got to work on them whenever I can.

I love this play.

And the rehearsals are fun.

But need to be off book to get the most out of the rehearsal. I need to know my lines.

Maybe I’ve been a bit slow on the line learning because I feel very close to the character I play.

Bob.

I can relate to him.

I feel like I know him very well.

But I don’t know his lines.

Not yet.

It’s all part of the fun of being in a play.
