Ten minutes til the end of my last day at the Annex for Riverside. I can't believe that in the last year, I've been an actor, scene shop worker, assistant stage manager, administrative assistant, and house manager for a professional theatre company.

I will be PISSED if we cancel our show tonight. Danielle sent out an e-mail that said they're thinking about cancelling. We'll know by five. That would kill me. This isn't a show I want to waste. It's been so fantastic to do this show that I can't imagine not doing it tonight. Ugh. Get it together, weather.
