Jake's Women
Well, it's come and gone. Jake's Women closed tonight. I feel really really strong right now. As a person. As an actor. As a friend. And as a human being. Im really proud of the work I did on that show. Im so grateful for the opportunity I had to work on the show, I grew a lot and I wouldn't give it up for anything. The thing I loved most was feeling like I was at home. I knew who I was, what I was doing, and why I was doing it. And I really feel I left my audience with something that had real meaning and connected with them. I'll never forget the guy sitting in dead center opening night. He just had this look on his face that said "Im listening and enjoying" That meant a lot to me to feel that connection. Tonight my fam was in the audience along with Meara's dad they all gave us the biggest laughs. I love how the laughter starts low and becomes more responsive as the show goes on. I don't know that Ill ever have an experience quite like that for a long time in my life. I love theatre, I love art, and most of all I love the people that I was so fortunate to work with. I never could ahve done it without Meara and Gusta and Dylan and Caroline and Steph and Mackie and Sammy and Rei they were all great. Thanks!
Well its sad to see it pass. But I had my time in the spotlight and I hope that I will continue to stay alive artistically. It's such an ego trip for me. I've never had anything like this before in my life. As a freshman or sophmore or even in the beginning of my junior year I was the last person that I could ever dream of being on stage like that. But I did it. i am that person who took on this challenge and worked my ass off to conquer it. though I wasn't flawless I feel I preformed three very solid shows and that there was not one audience that left feeling like I had let them down. Ive learned so much about myself. there is so much more to me than I ever expected. I love who I see myself becoming.
tonight the cast party was so wonderful. The closeness I felt with all of them was incredible. This is why life is worth living. It doesn't get much better than this. Thanks everyone who has touched my life along this journey. Thanks Joel Wagge for teaching me how to bring a script to life. thanks Ruth for encouraging me to allow myself to put myself out there. Im so hopeful about the road that's ahead of me. Life is wonderful.
I wonder where this road will take me next?
