We're off!

Playpractice tonight! Hours upon hours of work- but therein lies the joy! What kind of accomplishment is it if there's no work? This week is cheerfully referred to as Hell Week- the week before opening night, the week of dress rehearsals and sleeping onstage out of exhaustion, stressing out over everything and having no time to do homework. But opening night- with the lights and the excitement and the satisfaction of 'yes, now we have a show!'... it's worth everything. Even in the chorus, when you're only on the stage for three scenes and you get no praise for it aside from the praise of the loving directors, it's worth it. Every minute of it.
