My job is keeping me late tonight, so I figured I’d do a mobile post. Paladin Playlist should be on for tomorrow, so no worries there. I do do a little filming and instruction for a local university and tonight they asked me to film setup for a local theater production. The Blithe Spirit. It reminded me of my old theater days. Yes, loyal readers, professional wrestling is not the only performance I’ve put on. In fact, to get to where I was in pro wrestling, I balanced theater and high school wrestling simultaneously. Literally.
You see the stage for theater was the same room that our school made the wrestlers use for practice. I would be in a singlet, locking up with a teammate, then take a break to hop up on stage and recite my lines. Back and forth, back and forth. Hop on stage. Read. Hop off stage. Fireman’s carry. It was magical. Im very aware that when I interview the actors here tonight, they will just see a camera man. But when I watch and silently ponder how to improve a line, figure out how they do a special effect, or even when they’re just deciding on blocking, it takes me back. I miss being on stage. Maybe I’ll have to find my way back again. DFTBA
