I don’t know why I’m still awake except that I saw someone else’s solo show tonight

Tonight I went to see Victoria Libertoire’s “The Should Dream”, part of the Six Figures Artists of Tomorrow Festival. My my mind wanders to what I would do alone on the stage. What would my show be??? For one thing I would wear more clothes. Burlesque is not my thing (especially after what I saw in the dressing room at the store today. My torso needs more Pilates than I can afford.) When I was pregnant I realized; “Damn I should not have been too shy to be naked on stage or in photographs.” That body was cute and now it’s gone. Forever.

Victoria had great rapport with the audience. The old performer that was the framing device at the beginning and end of the piece was my favorite part of the show. Some of the transitions were absolutely seamless. It was an admirable evening of theatre.

I’ve always wondered what a woman would do if she wanted to be a drag queen, I think it’s burlesque.
