Wow, I cannot believe it's just over four weeks since I 'came out' to you guys and had my script reading!
The script reading went incredibly well - far better than I could ever have hoped for. By and large, everyone loved it. People were actually laughing at the funny bits! I was secretly hoping they would find it funny but preparing myself for everyone to snigger in disbelief and walk out.
It was incredibly hard sitting up there in front of a very tough crowd asking for comments on my work but I'm very, very glad I did because the feedback I received was absolutely invaluable. Someone actually said that it reminded him of the film 'The Artist'! I nearly fell off my seat!
Unfortunately almost the very next day, I launched into production - yup, 15 hour days, six days a week - for a show which, quite frankly, the less said about the better. I won't name names but really, technical preparation and simple good manners takes you a long way. This did mean that I was emotionally drained & physically exhausted by the time I got home every night and I couldn't find the time or the head space to work on the feedback I'd received. The show from hell is over now and it's looking like October will be a little slower so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back in the zone.

An invitation and a bit more
I've thought long and hard about whether to do this or not and I think the time is right... I'm talking about revealing my identity. I'm sure no one will really care everyone is fascinated so here goes...
*Deep breath* My name is Cathy Stewart. I'm a freelance entertainment lighting technician. I've worked in many different areas of the business - rock 'n' roll, TV, corporate events, theatre, fashion, parties and other rather strange, random jobs (I once lit a £3,500,000.000 necklace for a magazine launch). I started writing this blog as an outlet for that feminine side of myself that hardly sees the light of day when I'm wearing steel-toe capped boots, high viz and wiring into the mains.
The reason for the big reveal is this - I mentioned in my previous post that I'm having a professional rehearsed reading for my script. This event is open to the public and I'd like to invite you, my lovely readers. It's on the 8th of September, (today) at The Crown and Anchor at 22 Neal Street in Covent Garden (opposite Urban Outfitters). £3 entry - 7.15 start. If you do decide to come along, please find me and introduce yourself - I'll be the terrified one in the corner. If you feel so inclined to give feedback, I would really value your opinions.
Peace and love.
