Whew... look at all the posting I'm doing. Can't you tell I have the day off and nothing to do?! That, and I'm stuck in a bit of a dilemma and don't know what to do. As some of you may/may not know I was asked to head up a costume crew for a production of Godspell at UNBSJ. I didn't have a chance to meet with the director until last night, and so I felt obliged to say yes before I got a chance to meet her. So now I've said yes... and then I encounter the production.... and suddenly things become clear to me and why I was a little scared to say yes in the first place.
1) Fuck, I hate musicals. They're fun to watch, they have some catchy tunes, but overall, I'm not a lover of the genre. I like them, as long as I keep them at an arms length from me.
2) I know nothing about the Bible, nor do I really care to (no offense). Godspell- you probably don't have to care about Christanity to do this musical, but already I feel like I'm out of place.
3) I mean this as no offense to anyone, but the majority of the cast are former KV High and KV Players people. And dinner theatre people. I'm sorry, but there is a different attitude from KV theatre people. Which is why I never got involved with KV Players. They are nice people, but I'm going to want to kill myself by the end of the show.
4) I've never done costumes before... there's a reasons why I've never done costumes before... it's just not exactly my forte. I'm sure I can handle it, but it's not my thing.
So I've determined that I'm really not going to enjoy this experience. I'm trying to convince myself I will, but it's just not happening. If the first meeting I have with the director put a sour taste in my mouth, than I'm going to not enjoy myself. I realize that you can say "but you're always going to meet people and have to work with people you don't get a long with." True. But, this is volunteer. If I were getting paid it would be a different situation. I'm trying not to be prejudice or bias... but... well, I am. So sue me. I'm a nasty bitch and there's nothing I can do to change it. So, as bad and awful as I feel about this, I'm going to email the director before the end of the day and as politely as possible tell her I can't do the costumes. And I really do feel bad because she was so excited to have a costume person.
