<<Does everyone have this dream? For me, it's always opening night of a play and I'm being pushed on stage with no idea what my lines are. People are giving me cues and I make up stuff and wing my way through scenes but the strangest part of all this is that I am usually completely naked and no one reacts at all to this odd costume design. I had the actual experience once (not the nude part) of going completely blank halfway through a number in Little Mary Sunshine -yes-I was Little Mary--no rude comments about typecasting please--it was a song about the coo-coo bird. I opened my mouth and realized I hadn't a clue what the next verse was. The orchestra vamped until I made up some words. No one even noticed. It was a pretty stupid song to begin with. But still it was one of those red hot, sweaty moments when there is no conceivable way out of a humiliating situation. In that same run (this was a summer theatre production), Captain Jim and Little Mary were having a sad farewell scene and I had to turn away from him, weeping, and one of the other mounties was standing in the wings with bananas sticking out of every visible orifice--and yes-one from his little blue mountie pants. He just stood there smiling at me and waving the one in his pants in a friendly manner while I fumbled for my lines. He and several of the cast went on to New York and have done quite well. I however, married and went into a different type of production. Actually now that I think about it, I did have a semi-nude scene--in that same production-Little MAry has to run off the stage and as I turned, my long dress caught on a piece of scenery and stayed on stage as I ran off missing the entire bottom half of my skirt which unravelled and trailed behind. One of the Mounties casually picked it up and marched off stage with it at the end of the scene.

< I never attended, never did any of the homework, don't really even know what the course was about, and if I don't pass, my undergraduate and graduate degrees will be nullified...> Wow! Exactly. And I usually sit there wondering when I signed up for the stupid thing.

I I I have never had anything remotely like that dream. It must be because I am supremely confidant, and totally lack all self-doubt. Losers.
