The End...?
What an extraordinary season this was. Sure, it had its ups and down, and we all know that certain things just plain didn't work, but I had more fun than I have had in a very, very long time with this production. The characters were alive, the shows were amazing, and the patrons truly seemed to enjoy every aspect of what we created. I'm proud of myself, and of every other cast member that put their heart and soul into their role.
That being said, I have been doing a great deal of reflection the last few days, and I don't know if I'll be returning to cast. Between the apartment, the car, the new job (hopefully) and a family wedding, there are a lot of variables that could very easily make it impossible for me to return. It hurts, and I have cried more over that than the fact that the season is over. With everything that went so well, there were more dark spots than I had allowed myself to admit. I feigned optimism for too long, and exploded in cynicism on the way home from the party yesterday. I genuinely didn't realize I felt some of the things that I felt, and.... well, let's just say I will most certainly be writing yet another lengthy, detailed exit letter. ;-)
I want to thank each and every one of you. You had all touched my life more than you can know. Faire and all of you Faire Folk have truly changed my life. This was among my favorite seasons, from a performance perspective. Thank you all.
Here's hoping for another stellar season in '09!
And as a side note.... I'm considering auditioning for Arsenic and Old Lace in Manchester with Scott and Roger. I've already been in the show, but I would love to do it again. Is this something I should pursue?
