In The Toys Take Over Christmas, I'm the Cowgirl. The whole time we've been in rehearsal, I've just thought of myself as the Cowgirl, no name, just feeling out situations as I went. I knew the basics of my character, that I was upbeat and very excited about new things (ie. Sunny), but I hadn't spent enough time in my own skin. Tonight after rehearsal, I sat down and did a character study. My name is Jessie C. Buckley (the C. stands for Catherine) and I'm three years old and I have a horse named Midnight. I figured out my favorite color, food and pass time. I also thought seriously about my relation to each character. This has helped me figure out the finer details in my reactions to people. Why do I react the way I do to Colette? What makes me believe the Toy Maker so fully-heartedly at first? Why do I want to be sold so badly? I feel like now, after my reflection, I can truly be Jessie C. Buckley, the Cowgirl.
