At first this show was something I wore on my sleeve. A label that I wore with pride, I had snagged my dream role. As the rehearsal process went on it began to morph into something else. It consumed my life, but I was eager to let it. I had never been a part of a show where the cast as a whole did not want to take breaks. Every second of this production was a thrill that we were wanting to hold on to.
And now we're standing at the edge. Tomorrow my part in the show that began changing my life 8 years ago comes to an end. I have never been more confident walking on stage, and yet at the same time I have never been more humbled by the entire experience. Every performance just assures me a I'm doing what I want to do forever. This group of people I've worked with for the past semester has sculpted memories that will stay with me and every person that entered the theatre forever.
As I said in the video blog, this show changed my life when I first saw it. To be able to be that force for other people is something I never thought I would ever experience.
Despite all the drama that may have been thrown our way, I have found my place in an incredible family. I am so proud to have this show be the last one I will be in at UNM, and not because of the title and the character name I will be adding to my resume, but because of the people I have grown close to.
Tomorrow won't be easy. This show will be forever a part of who I am. Thank you so much to everyone involved.
Because I could keep writing forever with no aim I'm going to stop now...
