So long to Neverland.

Yes... the play is over. But it was amazingly fun and wonderful while it lasted! There is such a thrill that accompanies being on-stage!! There are so, soooooo many stories I could tell, but as I said before (not in this post), they lose something in the re-telling. Ergo (sorry, you're not going to get out of my perpetual rambling!), I shall just relate *a few* of my favorite moments.

On-stage: My favorite time one stage was.... CURTAIN CALL!!! The applause!! It makes the whole show feel worth it, no matter how stressful it seemed throughout! But that's always a favorite. So... to perform... BWAHAHAHA!!!! The sword-fighting scene!!!!!!!! (Yes, Wendy actually fought [!]) Because this was a comedy, the sword fighting scene was rather hammed-up, to use the term-- it started out oh-so-serious and dramatic, then at a certain point, it turns into a stylized ballet, from which point we go into sllllooooooooowww mo.!!!!!!! It was hysterical!!!! The girl that I fought with and myself were having the best time up there; we were pulling the cheesy-est "dramatic" faces possible, and it was SO HARD to not burst out laughing on stage!!!

And off stage-- Alright, I am firmly convinced that the REAL entertainment happens backstage!!! We were SO HYPER in the green room... it was ridiculous! Like the time our sound-man had to sit on someone so that they would get there make-up applied... or the time Hook was throwing all the little (in size) actors into the costume pile (Don't worry, it was about two yards thick)... or the *several* time[s] we would get in to the most ridiculous "arguments" over nothing (Only, they weren't real arguments) "It's PINK!" "No, it was CLEARLY yellow!!" "No, it was obviously pink!" "There's no way it could be PINK! Because it's YELLOW! You're color-blind!" "What are y'all arguing about? What is it?" "...IT!" "What's 'it' " "...IT!!" But those *particular* stories... well, you had to be there to appreciate them. :)

Now that it's over, I'm like, "Whoa, where did my life go? What did I do with all those extra five minutes before I had a character to analyze and and script to study?" I made so many good friends (that I will now be pestering with phone calls), and had, really, the most amazing time.

I love to act.
