Bittersweet Sunday

[liquid_falcon]

Today was the last showing of Chicago. We put on what was probably the best performance of the weekend, to ironically the smallest crowd (at 123 people). And you know, after helping to re-hang curtains, I walked out of the theatre, and felt...odd. I don't know, it's a very strange feeling to be in a place and know that you will never be in that

Ahhh, yes...the feeling of the last time in the theater...feels weird, doesn't it? Kinda like your last radio show next week. That'll feel odd too. Truly, it is. Pretty soon, we'll forget and live on for whatever we're doing...

Kinda reminds me of when I was part of the band in the musical "Con Amore" -- the last time you're in the theater, the last time you have a shot at a play, etc etc. It was fun, and I'd do it over and over again if I had to. It's quite the feeling.

Yeah, that was a fun play. It's even stranger for me, I suppose, becuase I've been doing plays since grade school (I was in a class production in 4th grade, and again in 6th). Ever since freshman year of highschool, I think I've been a part of every single show (except maybe 1 or 2) that I could. To go from that into not having it at all is just so...strange....

Wait, are the last shows this week....?

Thanks sweetie. :)

I forget if I've told you, but as soon as I'm settled in up in Boston, I'm going to start looking for a community theatre group to join, I think. I refuse to just give up on something that I fell in love with for such a long time (ie, theatre). Hell, I almost majored in it...

In any case, thanks for your words of encouragement. They mean alot to me. :)

Tom, I think ending with this show was great because you got to oversee all of us to make it the best show in years. I'm going to miss you so much when you leave, as I've already told you so many times already, especially when I'm drunk. You have taught me so much and have been such an integral part of the Players. It just won't be the same without you!

I'm going to miss hanging out with all of you during the days, dangling from the ceiling at nights, that final week of rehearsals...all the cast parties, the wild emotions, and the back door deals people make with each other...I'm going to miss all of it, really. The group is such a lively, emotional one, it's hard for me not to. I really hope that you delve deep into that sound board and the opportunities it represents. You're a brilliant girl, Jamie, and don't let anyone tell you different.
