All right! Two shows down! Four more to go! Tonight was awesome! Despite my throat being a little sore I gave the performance of a lifetime! The entire show went incredibly well tonight! Opening night was good too but we really picked up the slack tonight. My mother, father and godmother came to see the show last night. Roach, Paul and Joe came to see the show tonight. I'm really glad that they did. They all seemed to enjoy it so I'm happy that they did. I'm up there for myself until we perform in front of an audience and then it's entirely for them. I love having complete strangers come up to me and commending me. It's amazing to get an opinion or a commendation from someone with a blank slate. That means all my hard work was worth it. Bonnie who starred in Curtain Up on Murder with me said that I have really grown as an actor and that meant so much as well. It means that voice acting is not too far away. With what Bonnie said, I have noticed it too. I had a fairly minor part in Curtain Up on Murder and that was still a struggle because as much as I enjoy acting I was inexperienced. The only thing I had going for me was that I take directions easily. Coming into Dracula things seemed more natural. I've become more confident and more aware of everything inside of me and out. I can direct myself better. I guess I truly am an actor now. Tomorrow night which is technically now tonight is the midnight show and another opportunity to become even better! It would be great if the entire theatre is filled but if not I'll continue to fill it with an experience! I'm going to end this before it becomes a multipage rant. Peace!
