Oh, such a thrill. I spend my opening night days filled with a buzzing energy that zips me around, bouncing me through the hours with a heady expectation of what's to come that night. The feeling that in a few hours time you will be giving life to the thing you've been working on for months, that your character, whom you've come to know, understand, and feel so connected to, will finally take the stage. The day passes by in a blur; I'm just barreling through so I can start my preparations--usually unecessarily planned out things like when I will shower, when I will put together opening night gifts, how I will get in a light snack before the curtain goes up.
Ah, the curtain. That lovely, billowing wall that oozes with a hide and seek like anticipation. Is there anything quite like the seconds before Act One begins, when you're in place behind that sweet cover, just waiting for it to zoom aside and let your energy tumble forward, and that of the audience zing towards you, fueling eachother in that adrenaline pumping way?
Another op'nin, another show!!!!
