I can’t believe it’s over.  It’s so weird to be here at school and not have rehearsal to go.  The experience was worth all of the time, though—we put on such an amazing show, and I think it’s fair to say that we all bonded with each other too.

The last two shows were both phenomenal, and we sold them both out too!!!  Hen Hud has never had a sold-out weekend before, so it’s super exciting to be a part of a HHHS history-making show.  I don’t really have much to say about the last few shows because they were both flawless.  Sure, there was a little bit too much smoke during the melting scene (which resulted in ad libs such as “Wow, the witch has a lot of smoke” or “I can’t see the broomstick because there’s too much smoke!!”), but other than that, everything was perfect.  The audiences were also fantastic, especially the Sunday afternoon show—with so many kids, there was so much laughter at such strange parts.  Steven and I had a stare-down in one scene because the audience laughed at a line that wasn’t really funny… but it was still really cute. 

I honestly feel apathetic about just having performed for the last time on the Hen Hud stage.  I think it’s partially because I’m just not an emotional person and I’m not fazed by stuff like this, but I also think it might be that it just hasn’t sunk in yet.  I further don’t see this as something ending—this is an experience that will always be really special and memorable to me.

Regardless, The Wizard of Oz has been a great experience, and I’m so grateful that I got to work with such an amazing and talented cast, crew, and directors.
