Harriton Theatre Company
"I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am, I am, I am
The luckiest"
I cannot stop listening to this song. It's amazing that beautiful music can completely control my life. It's amazing that I can be moved to the point of tears, not out of sadness, but out of shear amazement, due to a voice and a piano.
This afternoon someone approached me with information about a stupid rumor (from last year in theater), and I've been letting it get to me. I've been letting it control my thoughts about theater right now, and that kills me. I refuse to do that... this theater is a blessing, I can't explain how thankful i've been to have it as a huge part of my high school experience.
I have to say that these past 6 months have been the hardest months of my life. It's hard to talk about what's been going on with out sounding like I'm complaining, so I wont. All I do want to say is that the spring musical is a really important part of my school year. And here it is: the weekend. The traditions, the togetherness. It comes quickly and it will sure as hell go quickly. This is the 6th play i've been involved in with HTC. I can't believe it's been six plays. I can sit here and think about my first circle, and my first time at Manillas, and my first opening night.... I can't help but think of high school in terms of theater. I can't imagine high school with out theater. This is turning into a circle speech... and I probably will say a lot of these things but I'm just thankful, and lucky. Really lucky. There are some things in life that can be kept constant and pure, and having theater to go to after school everyday has been one of those things, even the hard days.
I'm gonna get in deep.
