I'm so tired.
Tonight was one of those beautiful memories that stay with you throughout your life. I hope that I can remember every face down to the last detail and every word that was said- I know that most likely, I will not. But at least I will remember the essence of last night and that was overwhelming.
Our show was so hilarious. Nick messed up on his lines, so we had to jump to a future scene in our show and then back to where we were originally. Yes, this meant everyone leaving the stage before realizing that someone had to continue it so I went back on and had to make up something... and then we got in this cycle and Nick and I couldn't very well have our make-out scene twice so he just says "Let's just go" and I say "Okay" and we leave. And then there was the time when Brian, Nick, and I are on stage laughing and waiting for Anabel's entrance which never comes (this was EXACTLY like the Private Lives scene with awkward laughter and strange looks and of course the very sarcastic remarks "Can you imagine standing on the stage making up your lines?" and "Imagine that!!!")
Oh. My. Gee.
The thing is though, we had so much fun and it was SO hilarious and it was like... Moulin Rouge with the play having an inner play. Except in this case... we had three plays. We had the main play, the Private Lives play and then the play that was just like Private Lives. I don't think I have ever had so much fun in my life and I could hear Katherine laughing so hard. I can't even imagine what she thought.
Closing time was hard, though. I had to admit then that Moon Over Buffalo was over. That Senior One Acts were over. That the semester was over. That the year was over. That the next time I get on that stage to perform for Bowie Starlight Theatre Company, I'll be a junior. And my role models will have left, leaving the theatre to be very different in it's own way. When Katherine recieved her award, I cried because I was so proud of her. And she deserved that so much... it was just one of those perfect moments that I truly hope I'll never forget. I was looking at the line of women in the chairs and I knew and loved every one of them in different ways. They have taught me, they have played with me, they have worked with me, they have supported me, they have been there for me when I've needed them... and I looked at each one of them and saw them as individuals and these bright, unique stars- but then I also saw them as a whole, as the night sky and as cheesy as that sounds, I mean it. Every one of their different talents and faults make theatre beautiful and I love them so much. I have looked up to them since my very first show at Bowie when I was a freshman. I seriously adored them and thought they were the untouchables. I could never be close to them. And here I am, where some of these girls... they mean so much to me.
I have so much to say but enough words and not enough ways to phrase things. I guess I'll end it sort of like this because this is all that matters to me right now:
I hope we made Katherine proud tonight... I wish I could say so much more to her right now.
