Opening Night!
Wow! That's pretty much all I can say. It was the most incredible feeling I've ever had when I stepped out on that stage. I've been in a lot of shows, but this one was different. I've never done a drama and the sensation of feeling your own adrenaline pumping through your body, and then sensing the energy on the stage and in the house. It was emanating off of people and we ran with it. I mean, My arms actually went numb during Act 1. I was so into it that I seriously thought I might faint if I stood up. Thankfully, I didn't! The energy and comaraderie we all share is so intense. I'm going to miss that feeling most of all when I graduate. This was my last play, and it was definitely my favorite, even though I didn't have that big of a part. Now I understand why a lot of actors prefer dramas. They are definitely harder and more tiring, but in the end they are more rewarding. It's just starting to hit me that this is the last time that I will perform with some of these people. I really can't believe it. We are so much like a big, crazy, problematic family that I can't imagine my life without it. That probably sounds really, really sappy, but I mean every word of it. Oh, and I love the Applegates. I seriously LOVE them both. Especially mrs. applegate. She is probably the nicest, most talented person I know. I really enjoy it when she is on a caffeine high because that is uber-fun! Anyway - to my drama family, I love you guys. I'm gonna miss you more that I can possibly imagine.
