Well well well well. It is finally over and I must say it was an experience to say the least. The play opened at the Atl Civic Center on Friday the 9th and when I say that we, and I mean everyone was not ready for the real deal. Where do I begin.....ok. I will start with the first day we saw the stage, why was it the day of the play! U would think we would have been able to do a live run on a fully built, lighting, etc stage- no! Uh uh I was glad to have the opportunity to do the project but the stress of acting live is rediculous. So if anyone from the play, my fellow actors

etc read this-please dont be offended but I must disclose the funny shit that went on.
Got there, the set wasnt built, the sound wasnt right, the lights werent right, the will call was a mystery to us all. I stayed in close company to my co-workers- they keep you laughing all the damn time. And everyones heart was warm and they make you feel better. So thanks guys. My opposite was Lucious- he played Trevore in the play, he is over 6 feet tall, built like a stallion, and when I say fine I mean like he should linebacker in the NFL fine. He was sweet to the inner circle but please dont piss him off......I did have my own dressing room which was awesome, a full bathroom, etc. I unloaded my gear like no tomorrow, everyone including Rashan was like damn but she had a diva thing going on too. Great minds think alike- be prepared. Girls are funny, why did all the women on the set have a candle in their space, like the smells were gonna make us act better- shit I should have a Emmy then- cuz I burned mines down til there was nothing left! Ha Ha thought it was Lenox Mall up in there, u know the smell when U first walk in from the Body SHop?! Yeah it relaxed everyone though. OK, whoever built the set should kill themselves! Jump!
Common Sense- u build temporary stages/props out of
light weight material....duhhhhhhhh. They built it out of real 2 x 4's and like it was an addition to your house! So guess what?! They couldnt move it! Which means we had to revamp the idea that the set would change while we stood on it- that didnt happen. Well after Fri was packed to all capacity we got the idea that we had to get it together- we did! Sat had two shows and they were off the chain, everyone killed it! Nailed it! Super glued it to the floor! It was awesome to see all those talented people really do the damn thing. It made me cry to see them acheive, to just be stronger then they were 1/2 a second ago....u know I loved it. The director, Lady J, was awesome too. She really did her thing - I just wanted it to be gooooooodddddddd. U know.
So I didnt hold it against her and she went above and beyond the call to be the best director she could- she rocked! The writter of the play is Ty-e Muhummad, coolest brother I know, but he is uplifting and mature and dominent and he keeps the demeanor of the entire cast in tack. This play was off the chain I must say and after all that it was - the good, the bad, the ugly, the stinky. It was meant for me to be apart of and I am glad and Blessed. I am now on my way to Hawaii for 6 days and cant wait. My better half has blessed me with the trip and I promise to come back with skin cancer from the way I am going to lay out in the sun......c ya Oh but before I go I have to shout out my girls on the set. Thanks to Tracy -she played the midget girl who got choked out! She is hilarious, love ya ma! Dr Muhummad- the actress, girl you nailed it better than anyone ever could have, there will never be a replacement for you. Rashan Ali- funny but now I have a new shopping buddy. Aw man I am gonna write the list down cuz I love them all so look for another update this week sometime, Hey thanks for your support!
