So I started working on Summer Showcase - the show I am directing at Imagination Stage - last week. I got there today with all of my baggage - yes I do look like a little hermit - but I need a lot of crap for rehearsal. (Working on condensing...) I was also wearing my usual director/choreographer comfy attire of dance pants, t-shirt and baseball cap (nothing out of the ordinary).
Just in the front of the building I stopped and was talking on my cell to Kierstie and a woman pulled up in car, rolling down the window and tried to get my attention. Once I had ended the call, she asked me "Can you get me a program for THE NEVERENDING STORY?" (NES is the show currently showing on the mainstage at IS).
First of all I though it was funny she assumed that I worked there to begin with, and I replied, "Well, I don't really work here on staff, I am just contracted."
Apparently, she was bringing her children to see the show Friday and wanted a program to review with them before bringing them. (Not sure how much a program was going to help, a book might be a better idea...but I obliged).
Seeing as no one was in the Box Office window at the time, I told her I would ask the receptionist, but if she didn't have one I couldn't really help her out. Luckily, Ronni (the receptionist) had one and the woman was very grateful when I returned with one in hand.
Then she said, "I just thought you might be able to help me. I figured you were an actor because of your Superman shirt."
Really? I mean...
a) to assume Superman shirt wearers are actors and
b) to assume I was an actor working on this show...
Interesting how the minds of people work. Guess if I want to get work as an actor I should just wear my Superman shirt for auditions.
