The closing of the play was Saturday night, and it was amazing. Even if you didn't do the play or stagecraft, didn't go to Logan, didn't see the play, or have acted in your life you can connect to the feeling of something you have worked so hard on suddenly ending. In our case, we had worked on this play for six months, doing hundreds of run-throughs, and then it suddenly ended. We had to do four perfect run-throughs of the play, in-front of an audience of course, and then it just ends. Okay, now I'm making it seem like a tragedy or a drama or something, which it's not, but still, it's sad. Closing night is especially awesome/awful, depends on your view, because you want to hold on to every single moment. Your last lines go by, and then your last lyrics, and then you go take bows, and then you know that you will never do the show again in the same way. This makes for a very good show for the audience, just like opening night too.
So basically, we did all of the things that we have done so many times for the last time, and got to share it with the audience. That's one of the great things about theater, and performing, and acting, and all of that stuff. I've made so many new friends in the play, and am sooooooooo glad that I did it.
Oh, by the way the after-party was really fun. We ate delicious food, almost all of the boys played basketball, and the rest of us hung out and played QuizUp and talked. I am so obsessed with QuizUp right now, so if you have one, friend me:). We also played lap tag, which apparently nobody remembers that I was there (Hailey and Kate) and it was just a lot of fun.
So overall, it's kind of bittersweet, but really epic at the same time!
