Making out, technically speaking

This Thursday I have to make out with a guy in my show for a filmed part of the play, so as you can imagine, it has been on my mind somewhat. First, I've only known this guy for a week. I mean, we're not even on the "Hug when we say Hello" level. So that adds to the awkward level. And then there's the whole filming aspect of it. A million people (director, film guys, sound guys, other crew people, most of them being guys) are going to be watching me make out...In a very well-lit and quiet room. And like 3-5 feet away from me. And not only watching, but judging and critiquing. As if a scheduled and filmed makeout scene with someone I don't know very well wasn't stressful enough! I mean who wants to get critiqued on how they make out? "So, let's try it again, you two, but this time..."

And yesterday at rehearsal, after we practiced the scene that precedes the smooching, my director said, "Great. So...Probably soon...I'm just gonna have you guys...Make out so we can maybe have some of that rehearsed too...We'll see."

We'll see? So not only do I have planned make out time, I also have possible surprise make out sessions that could occur any night this week?? I have a feeling Kevin and I are going to hit the "Hug when we say Hello" level a lot sooner than expected.

I'll let you know Friday how it all turns out.
