"Without realizing it we fill important places in each others lives...you may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. there are always those who couldn't do without you. the rub is that you don't always know who"
"Never Say goodbye. Because saying goodbye means going away. and going away means forgetting"
"It's everybody's dream. No one's gonna hand it to you. You have to prove that you're special"
"The moon understands what it means to be human.Uncertain, alone, cratered, and imperfect"
"I learned that there was power in subtlety, stillness and tenderness"
"listen to your brain for logic and your heart for whimsical...or just look up into the clouds and hope that mufasa will give you guidance"
During tech I always wonder, “Why do I do theater?”
We sit around. We put our hearts and our souls and every thing we have into rehearsal every day. We deal with bleeding feet, injuries, sore muscles, screaming directors, breaking down actors, losing voices, the tired eyes, the constant sweat. All of that. We do all of this for three shows.
Only three nights. People come to see what we do for three nights. Then I remember.
The people.
Cast turns from cast, to family. Cuddling, whispering, laughing. The Green Room becomes home. It’s our kitchen, our dining room, our bedroom, our living room. We forget about people who aren’t in the production. We forget about the ones we love or care for outside of our cast. We miss them, but they aren’t in our current family. We bond because we unite under Thespis, under a love of performance.
You may say we’re all histrionic attention seekers.
But if you step on a stage, knowing what you have, knowing everyone will see what you have, you fall in love.
