I am working on a new show. It is a "coming of age" play. So the cast is relatively younger than I - one by 20 years - but on average about 11 years younger. There is, however, a "mom" character and she is a few years older than me. And yes - we tend to gravitate to each other.
It is interesting how many times age has come up as a topic. I have been particularly sensitive to it and I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out why.
1. I started using wrinkle cream becuase I see the lines around my mouth and I look like my great-grandmother.
2. I am at a crazy point in my career where I could make a 360/180 or 90 degree turn.
3. I am 3 years from 40 and freaking out.
4. I guess I do have a career, but I still feel like I have been invited to the party and it will end up being a practical joke.
5. I get tired faster.
6. The 20somethings in my cast don't get a lot of my literary or pop-culture references.
7. I am still living pay-check to pay-check.
8. i don't know what I want to be when I grow up... and I think I need to decide quick
and the list goes on...
