it's officially opening night eve for us, which is pretty damn exciting! the typical rush of having a show open comes back to me as i think about the last few shows i've done. but this is a different type of feeling. sure i'm extremely excited about my family and friends coming and them seeing us do this powerful piece as actors, but i've never felt so natural while doing a piece. and i think that's got a lot to do with all our exercises that involve being connected to each other as humans, making beautiful images, etc. so that's good. kudos us :)
also, i read an entry from greg pierotti written in 2008 on the actual laramie blog. he mentioned visiting marge murray and amanda gronich playing her. because i play both these characters i feel incredibly connected to them. almost like i know them. it's so interesting to read the real blog and articles about the tectonic members because i feel that i'm a part of it. not directly obviously, but to know the names of the people they mention, and the places and descriptions they give, i think it's really cool. and i know i am going to have a hard time when our show ends. not that i'm anticipating it, of course, we still have the entire week to go! but i feel like i can connect with the real members because they even say in the play that it was hard to move on afterwards, that they were stuck after the whole thing. sometimes i just can't wrap my mind around how beautiful this entire piece and experience is. it's getting extra emotional at rehearsals now, especially with the lovely music, and it's all just really deep and beautiful and moving. i can't say enough how honored i feel to be playing such amazing people. and everyone is doing a really amazing job and i'm so glad the cast has gone through the entire process together. i'm so grateful for everything. i am SO ready for our last dress rehearsal and for opening night!
