I am going to be making my Italian Theatrical Debut this Thursday. I am a Roman Soldier in the local passion play here in Castiglion Fiorentino. This is my costume, but don’t worry there is a spear and a shield to go with it. Below you will find a group shot of my with the girls who are playing the part of townspeople.
We had practice last week, which turned into a comedy. There were several directors, one of whom kept on singing “Jesus Christ Superstar” every time we walked by. One of the other Roman Soldiers commented that their were too many cooks in the kitchen. So funny. This has been a great opportunity to meet some more of the locals. The language barrier is still an issue. It seems like there is always a lot of gesturing, and grunting. Go non-verbal communication! They invited us to dinner after the performance which I am sure will be wonderful. I am a little surprised that more people didn’t volunteer to participate, oh well. Gotta Make the most out of every opportunity. We go on at 9 pm. Wish me luck!
The title of blog is something Tony said to me after we both tried to relearn how to properly construct a one point perspective. Tony, I think you earned another potato chip for taking these picture for me. Thanks.
