So here's the things with the murder mystery plays I'm in - we ask you to try and solve the mystery. During intermission, we want you to vote to see who you think the murderer is. If you guess correctly, you are put into a prize drawing.
But the thing is... even when I'm not the murderer, I want more votes than everyone else. I am VERY competitive with the votes. And I was disheartened when I got this script because I was just like, "oh this person is too adorable, no one is going to vote for me".
Y'all I'm winning. Two performances in, and I still have the majority. So, apparently, me trying to be 'cute' is murderous.
That means - with the exception of the one where I had to step in after an actor emergency, so basically I'm only counting the ones I've actually been cast in - I am 100% always voted the murderer. We'll see if I keep my record at tomorrow's matinee. ;-)
Dr. Watson, I presume....

I can't believe that happened. I am so very happy. I walked on stage and got to play Watson in front of a real audience and they all said what a nice job I did.
And Holmes told me I was the Perfect Watson. If it weren't for this sinus infection I'd be on cloud nine.
Maybe even with this sinus infection.
