Well folks!
This was the night!!
The Premiere!!
AND IT KICKED ASS!!!!
AHHHH!!!!!!
It's 3:20am and I am a little tipsy and way happy but had to check in to say that the play was a SMASH SUCCESS!
I cant' tell you how exciting it was to hear the people laugh at all my jokes, even the stupid ones we as a cast had heard so many times before! It was such a rush to see all the actors hit their marks, have fun with the lines, laugh and interact with the audience. I can't tell you the kind of high it was to hear and see the people applauding when we came out for our bow.
I am flying...
And it's a beautiful view up here!!
And after the show, I can't tell you how many people came up to me and congratulated me on such a phenomenal play, wonderful writing, and my role as the irate Greek and Italian mother.
They actually laughed and clapped when I walked off stage!! Twice!!
I was floored.
Completely!
I could not believe it!
And for the first show, there were only really minor flub ups!
But the whole cast was shining, and we were all happy, and the energy was grand, and the magic was in the air, and at that moment, I knew that this was exactly where I wanted to be - center stage, with my fellow actors, in front of a receptive audience, loving my words, wanting to hear more, wanting to laugh and be a part of this magic called theater.
OH GOD!!
I am on such a high, but at the same time, I am a little numb. It feels like this was all a dream. But the wildest part is that starting Monday, we have 3 back to back nights!! And apparently we are already the buzz of the festival!!!
I am flying.
And I can't believe it.
I never n a million years thought I 'd get my feet off the ground.
But I have, and I see the horizon, and the skies are clear, and is the dawn of a new day ;-))))

Congratulations! That's great to hear. Although with a night like that you should have been a bit more than tipsy afterwards!

I am soo happy! And the 2nd night was a smash success! We sold out AGAIN!!! We are the talk of the town!
I am on such a high! My sense of accomplishment is up there with parting the red sea (becasue I am a chronic procrastinator and this was a near miracle that I pulled this off!!)
Thank you again!!
