It was like I'd died and gone to an actor heaven.
Last night, first rehearsal for the big awesome project. It was...blissful. Terrific. Inspiring. Enriching.
It was like sitting down to a meal after wandering in the desert for weeks.
It was like finally sleeping after a forced march.
It was like curling up under the covers with a great book and nowhere to be, when you can't imagine a single place better.
It was such a relief. To be in a room with maybe 40, 50 people, and all of them want one single thing: to tell this story as well as humanly possible. Everyone's excited, everyone's looking forward to it, and some of the best brains in the Chicago theatre were in that room. It was fantastic.
It felt like home. Home. Home.
HG, grad school has nothing on this. This was like bringing the Titanic up from the ocean floor and restoring her to all her glory. This was like finally getting every single strand of Christmas lights to work.
This was great. I am sooooo lucky. Buckle up, all four of you. It'll be five months of this much excitement and more.
And maybe, just maybe, if some star is positioned just right for me, this is the beginning of the life I always wanted to have.
