An Actor's Perspective on Bathrooms

Below is an excerpt from our own Helen Kaucher who plays Announcer/Gal in one of our original plays!

That same day, we also went to auditions for a series of 8 one act plays set in a bathroom. (Go Gaslight!)
Reid and I both got a part in the same one act.

I read the script.
I discovered I had THREE lines.

Hell yeah!

Then I noticed there was a great deal of physical contact. Involving Reid’s character and half of mine.

OH BOY.

It was really exciting. And a bit terrifying.

I had not acted before, so this was an intense play to be thrown into.

The jist is, we enter in full embrace, kissing/making out, while stumbling around the room. We end up taking our clothes off, (underwear stays on), and “doing it” in the shower. The next scene’s emotion is a shocking and drastic shift. It’s a really well written play. Thought provoking. A little mobid. I love that.
Given the choice, I would absolutely have chosen to be involved in this play.

As a cast, we got into some interesting discussions about our characters and their meaning. It was a curious transformation and development.

I will divulge no more!

You’ll just have to come see them all.

Alcohol.
Priests.
Alcoholic priests.
Drug abuse.
Light romance.
Space dudes and well-crafted sandwiches.
Creative struggles.
Me in my underwear.

Only TEN dollars for EIGHT plays?! F*cking sign me up!

We have SEVEN more performances. Plenty of chances.

Stop complaining that there’s nothing cool going on in this area.
