thanks for everything we did, everything that's past, everything that's over too fast
Well Once Upon a Mattress ended yesterday. It was a very successful run and I had the time of my life. Singing ‘Shy’ gave me this feeling of freedom I’ve never experienced before. It was wicked cool. I loved every minute of it. I loved the show. I love the cast. I loved Mr. Harrison and I loved Winnifred. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end my 8 year run at Feehan. I remember my first meeting with Mr. Harrison as if it was yesterday. It’s hard to believe it’s over.
I cried so hard when I first got to the theater that I couldn’t even put my make-up on. Everything was making me cry. After finally calming down enough, I walked around the stage and green room -remembering conversations, laughter, secrets and songs that had flooded from every corner of that space since i was 10. I grew up on that stage. It’s home to me.
As I was reminiscing on my past 8 years there, Britt came over to me and hugged me.
“Don’t cry, sillygirl. This is only the beginning.” Her words struck a chord with me. She was right. This stage had only been preparing me for all the other stages I’ve yet to set foot on. Suddenly, I was fine. I got out on the stage and gave it everything I had. I had a blast.
I’ve been so lucky. I’ve had such a great director, such great friends, such a supportive family and so much fun. It’s been a wild ride. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
