She stoops to conquer – follow-up
It’s about time to give another update on my rising career as an actor. As Tim points out in his comment on my previous post, I have been upgraded to, Mr. Hastings, one of the leading characters in this play. I really appreciate this part and I am having a lot of fun together with my co-actors during our frequent rehearsals.
Hastings and my dear Miss Neville
Our stage manager, Sonya, is doing a fantastic job, not just commanding us around stage and making sure I’m spinning my dearest Constance the right way, but also with sponsors and publicity for the play. The posters are printed and last night we put up a huge billboard by the Opera in Tumanyan street. The billboard in one of Erevan’s busiest streets gave me and my friend Jesse quite a reality check; we are having lead parts in a serious production!

Expectations to the play are rising; billboards are put up, posters distributed and friends are getting excited. And we will these expectations; our performance is improving on every rehearsal, it is going to be great.
More pictures available at flickr. (They will soon be a bit better organized.)
It is a nice log, I really enjoy reading it, and it has also news for me. I, also being one of those actors, did not know that a poster is now in the streets and ads are going on.
Following are some of the links around this play.

Yeh that tall blonde was like sooo handsome! My friend July’s in love with him.
I myselfe liked Hovo and when I learned he was going to act in a play I was like… mmm … can he?
But he was really good staring as Tony. And if before i was not sure whether I just liked him or … well now i’m sure i’m in love with him.
Hovo I love you. I love you so!

yeh, that’s right that’s me. God i really honestly feel so bad. That was foolish and mean of me to do that but I… I so much like Hovo that, well I wanted at least to have his mail to be able to write him sometimes and get letters from him. I don’t have any bad intentions, no… we could at least be friends. you know, i’d like to share with him and would love if he shared with me. I just want to be a his mate if he don’t mind of course.
Sorry once more. I am kinda ashamed for what i tried to do.
I will understand if you don’t answer me.
take care

“she shoots to conquer” seems to really have success. Unfortunately I myself did not watch it. Is it going to be performed again?

Hi Candy.
It is not to be performed again this year, but we are discussing a reperformance in spring.
