RUBY
“If it weren’t for bad luck, she wouldn’t have any luck at all.” ~ Miss Dottie
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have the entire
world judge you based solely on the worst night of your life?
Spoiler alert: not great.
As I drove down the deserted Texas highway, clickbait headlines
scrolled through my brain like ticker tape.
Ruby Sky Broadway Breakdown
Ruby Sky Drug-Induced Striptease
Ruby Sky Naked Night on Center Stage
Technically, they were all true, so I wasn’t sure they could be classified
as clickbait. But they were also taken completely out of context, not that
anyone cared. The vultures were picking at the dead corpse of my career,
and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.
Over the past two months, things had gone from bad to worse. Each
disaster had a domino effect. The snowball of destruction picked up speed
like an avalanche, destroying my life in its path.
I lost my jobs, plural. I had to move out of my apartment thanks to my
roommate sleeping with my boyfriend. I was no longer speaking to my best
friend (who was also the aforementioned roommate). I broke up with my
boyfriend (see above: reason I lost my best friend). And I fired my talent
manager after he insisted I start an Only Fans.
The only surviving member of my social or professional circle was my
agent, Celia, who still represented me because I was still making her
money. She’d called in a favor and got me a role in a show on a cruise ship
for the next three months. I had a feeling that once I finished that job, I
would be dropped like a hot potato.
It was so strange how one night could change your entire life. Eight
weeks ago, I had everything I’d spent decades of my life working for. I was
on the verge of my ‘big break.’ I was the understudy for Glinda in the
revival production of Wicked on Broadway. It was the closest I’d ever
gotten to a starring role on the big stage. I’d been a dancer and in the chorus
of several Broadway productions, but never the principal. For a year and a
half as an understudy, I waited for my phone to ring to get the call to put me
in coach.
That day finally came. Unfortunately, the timing of my up to the big
leagues could not have been worse. I was nursing a back injury and was in
severe pain and barely able to walk. When I got to the theater, one of the
other performers offered me an ‘all-natural muscle relaxer’ that turned out
to be Molly, better known as ecstasy. To this day, she swore it was a
mistake, but I wasn’t totally convinced it hadn’t been sabotage. The world
of musical theater could be cutthroat.
In a very uncharacteristic move, I’d also taken a shot of vodka before
curtain to try and combat my nerves. The MDMA and alcohol didn’t play
well with my anti-anxiety medication. Before the first act ended, I was
dragged off stage topless and in hysterics. My big break night ended in the
emergency room.
