Exclamation point? Heck, yes. This was an amazzzzing show, and we all should be hella proud. I've never been around a cast as agreeable, classy, and united as this one. Out of a cast of over 60, I can't think of one personal problem that arose during casting and production, which speaks volumes, especially if you consider what took place during La Mancha. This was the most fun I've had in a show, both on and off-stage.
But I'm not sad now that it's over. The show came, culminated, and went. I find it poetic how it happens that way. It's always best to go out on top, and yesterday, before the show, I wasn't doleful about only having the one performance to go, but was thankful that I could perform KMK one more time with the people that I love. Although it isn't the same (some people'll have to work and stuff), we still have the show this summer, and I'm excited to see who steps up to fill to-be-emptied shoes. And don't think it won't happen, it does every year. That's what high school is, going from gumshoe to head honcho, and then setting off to conquer a further realm.
It happens quick, guys. I vividly remember laying in bed after opening night of How To Succeed... and thinking, "This is me." Now, three years later, I wouldn't even recognize myself. Thank you God for leading me here. Thank you Sue for getting me into this. Thank you Q for keeping me in it. Thank you family for supporting me through and through. Thank you friends for seeing the shows, and for standing with me and beside me, not just on the stage, but through all of my high school life.
