Last Performance = EPIC

Last performance last night and it was... incredible! It was so good, it felt like it went too fast and then it was over. The show itself was amazing and the audience was very happy. At the end of the day, that's the most important thing. A cheering and smiling audience is what makes it all worth while :)

Backstage was fun as usual. Lots of smiles and hugs and "I'll miss you's"... After the show, we went downstairs to a little bar and hung out for a little bit. Did I mention that was my first time at a bar? I think it went well :) I successfully finished two glasses of water and it was great LOL! I got more hugs before I left which was awesome.

As with saying goodbye to anything you love, it was bittersweet. One of the guys already wanted me to come back to LA and hang out, and another promised to come to San Diego while I offered my apartment as his sanctuary. Well, at least I'll know I'll keep in touch with a couple people :)

Last night was a night I will cherish for a while. One thing I like about theater is the opportunity to make some connection with people and keeping hopes that it will last. We had a wonderful run, and an even more wonderful time experiencing the ups and downs of the process.

Thank you for giving me this wonderful memory...

Ladies and gentlemen... The Dark Side of the Moon....

Show #6 = Great Show

Show #6 turned out really well. As a stage actor, I make it a point to not make eye contact with the audience when I'm in character. However, once we do the curtain call, I look at all of them and see their reaction. This night's audience seems like they really enjoyed the show. That in itself is enough to inspire me to keep going.

I love it when I see smiles in the audience after the show, with or without a standing ovation. Just the knowledge that they enjoyed themselves (and got their money's worth), is good enough for me.

As usual, backstage was a different story. A little bit of it trickled onto the stage, which was "interesting" to say the least.

We just have two more shows left! If you are able to travel to Los Angeles, please come and see us :)

Show #5 = Connection

Last night's show was a lot of fun. There were complications, but we were all able to work through it. Also, we had to share the dressing room, so we were all bunched into a corner. When that happens, there's no choice but to get closer...

The backstage chatter was a lot of fun. New connections were made, new challenges were issued against each other. Basically, with all that was going on, it increased adrenaline and camaraderie. Apologies were given for past incidents. I really appreciated that one for sure.

On stage, the stakes were raised a little. Not quite as intense as Show #4, but definitely has potential ;) I can't wait for next week. I'm kind of sad we have 3 more shows left...

Overall, last night was just full of awesome, I don't even know how to put them into words. I'm still reeling from all of it. I wonder if all of it was just a dream...
