Closing night

[monkeybard]

I'll be sad when Proof closes tonight. I've had a fantastic time on this show, and working with the rest of the cast has been great.  Roles like this do not come along very often--at least not in my experience--and I'm bummed that my time with it is coming to an end.  So I'm trying to focus on the positive side of finishing up.

I will not miss:

• the 36-mile round-trip drive to and from the theatre
• putting on make-up every night
• the very tight jeans I wear in Act II, Scene 1
• having to remember all but three pages of the play
• drinking all that ginger ale that's masquerading as champagne and beer

That's a pretty decent list to hang onto.  I'm not going to list the things I will miss.  That would just bum me out too much.

I am looking forward to:

• spending more evenings with NordicBoy
• renting the movie of Proof and seeing how Gwynneth played it differently ;)
• not driving as much
• our upcoming trip to Edinburgh

That's pretty decent list, too.  I think I'll leave it at that.

Thanks to everyone who's come to see the show!  Without you, well, who would we show off for?  ;)

Well, Gwynneth got to smooch the adorable Jakey Gyllenhaal, if he's your type. :D Congrats on a major role! ITA on the makeup - that was the worst part of doing Oklahoma, apart from being forced to sing bass: foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara GAH!

I wouldn't say no to Jake, but our "Hal" was pretty cute, too. ;D

Welcome! I'm bummed I didn't get to see you, again.

You guys did a beautiful job with the show (especially you--that's not an easy role, emotionally or memorization-wise).

****HUGS**** Bravo!

[monkeybard]

Thank you! It is a little bit of a relief knowing I don't need to keep all those lines in my memory any more. ;) *hugs*

It was fantastic story and you were awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed the show!

I hope you have fantastic time in Edinburgh!

I'm glad you guys made it and enjoyed it!

Am counting the days to departure for the Land of the Scots. ;)
