First time acting for huge comedy production


One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was my first professional play I acted for (or the first play since seventh grade). After like 4 months long of practice, it was show time! April 26th and 27th made me a super star! It was time to make it or break it! Just before showtime, I practiced infront of the mirror. I was gonna be a real looney! I gotta be, the play based on a novel and movie (which won 8 oscars) was about loonies in a mental hospital..me being the looniest...Cheswick. All the time I was thinking, what will my friends think of me acting so stupid on stage...but who cares...to act you must be able to surpass everything. I cleaned shaved everyday on the show. The first day was awesome. I feeling a little high, went to uni after meetin a couple of boys from at the Villa, went backstage and didnt shut up...just kept on talking to keep myself wild. Put on my costume (wore the asylum uniform and one sock with a hole) put on makeup and did some theatre exercises. The boys n girls were feeling a bit nervous...me not so much...just can't wait to get on stage. Showtime came. I got in character...wild...looney...goofy...and total retard! I had my facial expression on...just love it! We on stage...damn the floodlight r soo blinding...good thing can't see no audience. Did my crazy part...audience loved it! Laughed out so much right from the minute they saw me. I made them crack open with every joke of mine. Best everybody loved was my facial expressions, total looney n retard. We even invented some new ones on the spot like the broom hop and me pointing out to aide warren when nurse ratched asked who! Even special scenes of mine where I come creeping out from the dorms...audience drank it,loved it and laughed it. I wanted to go on everytime, I loved it out there, to be watched and to entertain. The scary parts come on the second day wen my brothers were sitting right in the front seats, and I had say perverted lines. Got through that somehow, even got helped a couple of actors when they missed their lines. Awesome show! Show was over and we had curtain call, I heard my name so many times, from people I barely even knew. I got off stage and I met with my friends and couple of "fans"..like this one guy said he and his friends think I'm the best and laughed at every single thing I did, like even if I just stood there and smiled! They were my biggest fans! Then they were people saying they loved me and Sanad and Webber and called us the three stooges, and the didnt concentrate when others were talking but just looking at us and laughing the whole time. Some people said they found my facial expressions so funny and asked me to did it again for them...and whne I do it they're like hahaha...look at that..LOL...So many comments from other friends and people. My brothers liked it. A couple of UAE film directors I met liked it. Lots of people said I had the talent. I enjoyed being a celebrity for a moment. Zee Arabia shot our play and aired it on TV. After talks with "fans" I had one last dinner with the cast and headed straight with my hommies at the villa.I break it or make it...I made it!
