The Baltimore Waltz
Well kids, I've decided to start posting again. After a month or so hiatus, I'm returning to the blog scene, hopefully staying longer than last time, at least I'm going in with intentions to do so. Well I won't be filling you in on what has happened over the past "blackout" period. You can imagine whatever you want there. I'll pick up on this post at where I am now.
Last night, after a successful performance, The Baltimore Waltz closed. I was saddened by this because of how good it was on the last performance, not because it was over. You see, the first performance was really rough and teh tech rehearsal was barely indeiscernable as a show. But our second public performance proved to be awesome. It became so much better over 48 hours or so. It's remarkable how the theatre works like that. But I couldn't stop thinking of the fact that, if we were to have more performances, how wonderful we could have become. With only two shows and a rushed tech, not to mention very primative rehearsals before hand, we were never really given the chance to blossom. But we really became something by our last show. The cast was where I wanted them to be. The only things that could have improved were technical details, sound mainly. Ugh! Anywho, we really accomplished something. And I'm proud of it. And the show itself proved to be evry enjoyable for all those who came and saw it. And I thank the audience so much for their support. Every student and faculty member of AHS I thank you for your support of the arts in your school. To those students who came from THS: Thanks so much for supporting the arts in general. This event was something greater than a school event, it soared above school rivalries and served as a gathering for people to come together and enjoy something greater. I thank all of my friends who so generously gave up their time to come and sit through our experiment: Elizabeth O., Amber M., Claudia K., Trip C., Jannette, and the many others whose names evade me at teh moment! I thank you all! Karen H., dear girl, even gave me a rose. Such a sweet gesture, and it really means a lot. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed the show and took something special away from it. We did it! Again!
More on this to come later. I will share more in depth reflections about this great show that we did, but now "The Apprentice" is on and I DO NOT miss "The Apprentice!"
Bon soir, mes amis!
