I can officially add “actor” to my résumé now that I’d participated in a stage reading last Thursday to an intimate audience. Okay, so there wasn’t actual acting involved but the cast still had to exude the appropriate emotions and some gesticulation in order to make the characters each was portraying come alive. I was the Narrator and set the stage for each scene while dutifully conveying “action sequences” that cannot, by stage reading guidelines, be acted out by the participants. I also vocalized the “sound effects” like, among others, the door bell, coyote howl, cricket chirping, and cellular phone “ring tones.” (Several members of the audience approached me at the end of the reading, expressing their delight and amusement that I chose “U Can’t Touch This” as the ring tone for one phone, and “Sexy Back” for the other.)
The three-act play was penned by two playwrights/screenwriters who also happen to be employees at the company I work for. The director is a co-worker of mine and brought legitimate guidance and insight to the project from years of experience in her own theatre production companies in New York and Oregon. The cast was a menagerie of employees at the company, most of whom had varying degrees of theatre work in the past or are still actively involved in it. The writers hope to mount a full production of their play by August of this year, and have already approached me for my possible involvement.
I told them to keep in touch. We’ll see where this one goes. 
Sweet. Sounds Fun.
