New Rep Studio - last day & performance!!!

Okay, so yesterday was our last day and we were all so so so sad to say goodbye. We did notes in the morning and then we had a run through that was by far much better than our previous ones. Everything came together, we had lots of energy, and we remembered all of our cues. After the run through we had more notes and then we broke for dinner. (It was definitely sad to be eating our last Panera dinner all together). After we came back from dinner we set our props, did our makeup, and waited for Lianne & Lina to call places. When it was time to wait in the wings we were all SO nervous.


The performance was AMAZING and as soon as we got on the stage, our nerves melted away. I want to congratulate all the girls for doing an amazing job. The audience really enjoyed it. Everything went so well, except the part where I fell out of the back of the wheelbarrow, but we just laughed it off. If we made any mistakes at all, people handled them perfectly and we all worked together to fix them. All in all, the show was fantastic.

As some of you may know, at the end of the show, it is a tradition to get the director a bouquet of flowers. But we had a better idea. Since Panera had become like our second home in these past four weeks, we decided to get ciabatta rolls instead. So at the end of the show we presented Suzanne (director), Dan (A. Director), Virgina (costumes), Kevin (music), Lianne (Stage Manager), Lina (A. Stage Manager) and Cheo (techy) with their very own rolls. I think they appreciated our creativity :)

After the performance we had a little reception where we all got to say our final goodbyes. About half way through, we all went down to the dressing room to get our things together and to just sit and talk before we split for the rest of the summer. There were tears and tons and tons of hugs. We must have sat and talked for at least 40 mintues. We talked about everything that had happened from first impressions, to the very last day. Eventually, our parents had to pry us apart.

Over 4 weeks, we have become like a family. I will always remember this camp and I know that we all stay in touch. I know that you girls will always have a place in my heart and I will always think of the good times we had.

I love you girls to death!!

Love,
