What an opening! What an incredible experience to sit in the house and listen to the audience hold their collective breath, to hear them gasp and cheer and cry as our story unfolded. It was amazing, joyful and stunning--overwhelming. We had a standing ovation at the end of Act 1! Unbelieveable!
WE have 5 more shows to do--Thursday through Sunday of this week, and I think, I know it will be equally wonderful. My cast is so solid and ready to be present in each moment as it is happening. They appreciate all the details and support each other even more than I guessed or knew. The crews are equally tuned in and strive for perfection. There is a sense of comraderie and teamwork back-stage as the show unfolds--it really is something special. Everyone feels owenership, pride and a sense of responsibility to do their best...Not to be perfect, but to be the best that they can be: To hit their marks, tell their story, solve their problem. There is a remarkable sense of clarity about what their job is, and everyone feels equal to the task.
AMAZING!
Resting for now, but soon...
TO THE BARRICADES!
