Evening at CCPC

What a great time we had Saturday night! The acts were amazing, singers sang beautifully, comics were hysterical and well, the Sonnys & Chers were a sight to behold. Esp. the Reverend! It was amazing to see the Sanctuary rocking to the Beatles medley the band and all the acts got everyone up and dancing to! I just stood back and basked in the smiles of everyone--I love creating fun! So many people came up and thanked us for giving them a great night of entertainment.....it is so nice to feel appreciated.

Of course, many, many people had the same question...."when's the next play?" Ahhhhh, that's quite a loaded question isn't it? After putting on a successful show and having fun doing it, it's really hard not to have your thoughts start traveling to the next one. Such a quandry. I know intellectually that doing a play is a massive amount of work, eats your whole life as a matter of fact. I know logically that I (and my family) should devote ourselves to our 'real' lives and stop stopping them for plays. I know financially that I really need to pay attention to my career and stop spending all my time and money volunteering....

But....and you saw that coming didn't you?.....
It's so hard to look into the faces of the kids AND the adults! who have had such a great time, life changing experiences and think that there won't be any more plays at CCPC. Now I know I'm not the only one who can do plays and I'm sure eventually that other people will step up and do them but Melodie and I really do enjoy the plays once we get through all the crazy drama of them....

and they built a stage in Dodd's Hall......

and we fought really hard for session to allow us to do an adult play.......

and there really are a lot of incredibly talented people who help onstage and off.....

UGHGHGHGHGHGH!

If only I were rich enough to afford a maid and secretary and tutor and all the other things that fall apart when I'm doing a play.....

Ahhh, but opening night. What a rush!



Sigh. I can't think about that now, I'll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.....

Frankly my dear...
I think Scarlet had a good idea. Think about it tomorrow.
...but...
If you don't do another play, will your house be clean, your career a success, and your kids on the dean's list?
