Something weird happened

The other day I was doing a show at the theatre and the show I'm doing has a rookie assistant director who is also in ensemble and is really unprofessional. So one show we did the fucker decides he wants to change the choreography out of the blue, we've been rehearsing for months going over routines and working our asses off and he didn't even show up to all rehearsals and was behind and we had to teach his bumbling ass everything. When the show starts he freaks out every time whenever we dance and he ends up doing his own thing which draws attention to himself which he does deliberately and it fails every time because each and every dancer is determined not to be outshined by this dickheads shitty dancing ability.....it's a huge taboo with dancers in theatre, it happens but unintentionally.

So the night before one show he goes to kareoke and then claims he had a fit and had Togo to hospital which means he can't come to do the Sunday matinee which means he broke the cardinal sin of theatre......everyone on Facebook was like "get better" "get well" and I'm like "where in the hospital is that fucker, I'll rip his head off"

Before I go onto stage I usually hold hands with these two cancerians ladies and we just do it to ground ourself and have a moment of peace, I think it's cool because they're garbed in old English attire and it feels like I'm holding hands with the weird sisters from macbeth†.....
Anyways I was in the worst mood before I went on because of this asshole not turning up to do the show that we worked our asses on rehearsing for....and I went on and on and on about the fucking shit he does and one of the cancerians ladies heard me and she said...." Your reasons are completely justified" and I was about to go in with my rambling and she interrupted " Your feelings about him are completely justified but you need to let go of them right now and move on" and I had one of those lightbulb moments, it's like all I needed to hear then and there that my feelings were heard and she said it with so much sincerity that she understood what I was going through and it worked. I had my moment and let it pass and then went on with the show...

It's amazing how much I let stuff affect me I have lots and lots of moments where I revel in my own disgust with humanity but it feels so good to have a gentle soul there to put their hand on your shoulder to bring you down to earth...

It's funny though when I first met that cancerian lady at rehearsals she was very hands on with everyone, we had to share a libretto at one point and her hand was cradling mine underneath and I thought it was really weird and that she was a weirdo but she's a very sensitive lady and doesn't shun touching people and thinks it needs to happen more and I guess I could say that her reason are absolutely justified 🙂

I agree with you and Feby. Very cool!

I agree with everyone
