Hi there, sorry it's been a while.
It's Fringe time here in Edmonton so things are a little bonkers. By which I mean I pretty much eat, sleep, and live at the theatre. Well maybe not sleep, I don't have time to sleep while I'm there, but I definitely eat, live, and work there.
As tiring and stressful as it is I love doing theatre. It's such a collaborative process, actors, designers, technicians, directors, musicians, writers, composers, and everyone else, all coming together to create something beautiful. I'm proud of the work we've all done and made some really good friends along the way. I'll be sad when the show is over but that's how theatre goes, you come together through rehearsals and once the last show is done everyone heads their separate ways.
For now though we have 13 performances ahead of us. With opening night tonight, we can start sharing our art and the story of Spring Awakening with each audience member who comes through our doors.
DFTBA,
-Kim
I have so much respect for people who work in theater. In my limited experience just playing for shows in the pit, I know it can be a lot of work. But so worth it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so jealous-- I've always wanted to see Spring Awakening!!
Good to hear from you again, Kim. :)
