Hey blog-land. It's been a while.
I've been doing this little show lately that has been nothing short of a dream come true. Does that sound sentimental and dramatic? I don't care. It's true. I love this play, I love this production, I love this cast. I have looked forward to every single moment and I'm really sad it's closing on Saturday.
The show is a hoot. It's hilarious. It's so satisfying to be a part of something that makes people laugh. It makes me happy.
And my little cast makes me happy. We're just a small little troupe. I've very rarely felt so connected to a whole cast like this. There's a distinct unselfishness we share on this stage-- and off, for that matter. I've rarely felt so supported by a team of people, which only inspires me to be that much more supportive of them. Every single night we delight in each others' performances-- we look forward to each others' successes and love to share and recount them. We take turns being "the funny one" and work very hard to avoid stealing each others' thunder. I have experienced a specific lack of arrogance in my castmates. We laugh through our pre-show routines. There's no shortage of compliments and encouragement. It is distinctly joyful.
I love what I do. I get to spend my time being creative and silly, wearing beautiful clothes, making people laugh, and working with a team of folks who share my passion, process and ambition. I aim to improve and they help me.
I am so incredibly lucky.
