Now you've got me all misty!

You were an incredible source of inspiration, talent and energy throughout this production. I am so touched that this was a meaningful experience for you, as well as being fun. I hope we'll have many more to brag about.

And the beard looked great!

We owe it all to you for lighting the fireworks. And someday I want to see you onstage (but I won't make you wear a beard, unless you want to!)

Hey to my buds reading -- the woman above is our awesome director and very cool friend. I know some of you are closet theatre people, and I'm going to drag you in just like I did to Jane. Mwahhahaha...

Hi Mare!

Congratulations on the job, the great experience in the play, the whole sh-bang! We totally missed you last Sunday night. Wow, your presence was truly missed.
So sorry Swami and I didn't make it to any of the performances, no excuses there.

Anyways love to you, see you soon,
Love,

Not to worry, I'll be at class next week. I missed both of you too and am so grateful to you and Prema for everything, including the class (and the 80s vinyl punk jam!).

I'll have lots of pix from the show. I look totally hot as a man. **NOT!**

Thank you very much for sharing this, Mare.
I was dashing around "producing" when
you were on stage or backstage, and
never got to give you the big hug you deserve.

I am so glad to know another wonderful
reason why it was worth it to get the church
to host this theater group, and to do all the
work as a producer. This makes it worth it
in a whole new way!

Best of luck to you in your new job!

Big hugs right back to you, Beckie. We never even had the chance to hang out during the production, but you and the project had such an enormous impact on me. All your rounds of beer are on me. :-)

Mare, the whole series of events summarized is this: a harsh new idea of prancing on stage with potential icky people; a serendipity of happy, lucky, warmth in the group; a lost job, followed by a some losing temps; a brief gala production, followed by a brief gala production, etc.; then a new job; to face the single immutable fact, that nothing can ever stay wrong, no matter how it seems to... possibly, oops, uh-oh, what if, gotta be, must have... Gone wrong.

You've/We've made it through all this, just to come out shinin' on the other end like it was a car wash. Ahh, the stage in that room was another world.

So beautifully true, those words of yours -- nothing can ever stay wrong. And I'm so happy I met you, spirit brother. This group is a many-faceted diamond. Let's keep on shining.

Big hugs,
Li'l Guildenstern

That was a very beautiful post and thanks so much for taking the time to write about how this experience impacted you. How it impacted all of us... Really...

As for me, all I can say is thank you for bringing me into it! I love every one of these people.

Jane

That's why you've got to be careful hanging out with me -- I'm a bad influence!

love,
