You know how you wake up the morning of closing night.

And you’re exhausted from the shows the day before, so it hasn’t quite set in yet that this is the end.

The end of those tumultuous three months where rehearsal became your second home, the cast your second family, and the show your greatest undertaking.

But then as the day goes on it finally starts to hit you. You’ll never be with this same group of people again. You’ll perform your favorite scene for the last time. You’ll perform your least favorite scene for the last time. You’ll take your final bow. And then you’ll all disperse and move on to the next thing.

But you’ll never forget how it changed you.

Those late nights where you drive your poor director crazy. The nights where they drove you crazy. The pranks you pulled, your annoying costume pieces, the stupid inside jokes, the friendships formed. Theatre brings people together in a way unlike any other.

So cherish those good nights and those bad nights. The role you’re in and the show you’re learning from. Give everything you’ve got for those last few hours, because theatre is temporary.

Thank you, five.

Went to a friend's live 1920s murder mystery performance last night. Light audience participation and you could buy special tickets to be a suspect. But mostly just getting teased by the actors. Great show!

Right before curtain, my friend pulls me aside

Him: "sit down."

I sit

Him: "your name is Gloria Buckles. It's your first night in LA. You are the lead star's understudy. You are innocent, excited. Any lines you'll have, we'll give you a card. Otherwise, just follow our lead."

Me: "yes, and..."

#did I mention I hate being called on for audience participation? #but...well...here we are #it went great except for he point where they literally handed me someone else's line #right after the detective called me an 'unreliable narrator' #oop #but it was a lot of fun #I accidentally out the actor in a position where they didn't know how to respond. I felt a little bad. #they turned to the host and went 'oh...thats good. I dont actually know what to say to that.' #theatre kid problems

daily reminder that caffeine is a drug!

this is pretty silly. i mean, who could have ever thought that just a few cups too many of your morning coffee could make you vividly hallucinate? or, in my case, a large chai latte and a watermelon redbull? well. settle down, because i’m about to tell you the story of how i almost overdosed on caffeine from two (2) caffeinated beverages.

(for context, i am currently running the lights for a show right now, and i am a minor)

alright! so. i was on my way to rehearsal. rehearsal of the night before had gone pretty late, and i was really tired, so i went to the coffee shop that was in the building that had the theatre in it. i got a large chai, and drank it pretty quickly. it was really good, and i had a lot of change so i decided to buy myself a redbull for the next day. what i had forgotten is that sometimes i don’t have a lot of self control when it comes to not eating/drinking whatever edible is in my hands at the moment. this was one of those times. i was excited about trying this flavor, cause i’d never had it before. it was watermelon, and i got it since it’s called redbull red edition and i thought that was funny. so i drank it. i drank the redbull. why i thought that was a good idea, the world will never know. but i drank it. now, keep in mind that the recommended limit for caffeine for my age group is 100 mg. by now, i had consumed almost 4 times that amount. coincidentally, the amount of caffeine needed to overdose for my age group is also 400 mg. do the math. now, i hadn’t consumed 400 mg, but i was pretty damn close. and even without doing the math and research needed to find this out, i knew something was strange, and different, and wrong. i have also never done drugs, and now i never will. i felt like that one guy from twitter who did green ketamine at work and met mary mcaleese. i felt like someone gently slid me through a paper shredder. i could feel every drop of blood coursing through my body. i discovered so many profound realizations about everything, i was a threat to plato and aristotle themselves. i saw shapes in the corners of my vision beckoning me to give in to my emotions and come with them. i saw the forbidden shrimp colors dancing in front of my eyes. that last thing was a problem. all of that was entirely very problematic, but seeing different colors when i was supposed to be running lights and fixing little things with my director was a problem. especially when we had to change some cues and i had to violently restrain myself from crying because i was going to miss them. this was an hour and a half of pure, concentrated hell. the devil came down to that theater to torture me himself. we finally ended that rehearsal. now, i was thinking that i would get a small break to myself to collect my emotions, mourn the loss of my favorite cues, and come back cool and calm like i usually was. i did not have that opportunity. i was able to have dinner, then i went back to rehearsal. i was still convinced that everyone hated me and wanted me gone, but at least i couldn’t hear the frequencies coming from the light board anymore. rehearsal went pretty much normal, i was a little shaky and in a perpetual head rush, but everything ended up being a ok. so there’s your daily reminder to limit your caffeine intake!

the moment I start referring to asking if I can leave rehearsal early to work on things for the show at home as "asking for the day off" you know I should be getting paid
