THE SHOW

I'm so drained right now.  I don't know if I can do justice to the show that just occured, just because there were so many things going through my head and I have so little energy right now to write about it accurately.

The short version is that everything went beautifully.  The long version is that I was completely calm and fine until Amy Bradley and Maria showed up, and for some reason, I started freaking out.  Rudy Frias, one of my friends of theater came, as well as my neighbors.  We had a practically full house!!!!

The actors were amazing.  The improv was absolutely hilarious.  They killed.  Everyone was really impressed.  The scenes were amazing too.  It was flawless.  During the improv, I was literally almost crying with happiness.  I stood in the back and watched.  After the scenes were done and everyone clapped (STANDING OVATIONS), I curled up in the light booth and hid until most people were in the lobby.

It was great, and it went great.  All the misgivings I had yesterday are completely gone.  Now I'm just depressed that it's almost over and I have to face the reality of leaving the country in five days.

Tomorrow's another show!  I'm so excited.  I know some people are coming back, and I think I've convinced Ben Faith and Justin McKibben to come again for the improv and the cast dinner after.

Right now I am stuffed to the brim with Indian food.  I'm sitting in my basement with Myca Preest (she loved the show) and Maria DiSabato (ditto) watching O Brother Where Art Thou.  It's time to shut off the computer and be a good movie-watcher.  Hopefully on Sunday I'll have more articulate things to say about the show.
