Well, this wonderful summer is coming to a close. Last night we had strike until the wee hours of the morning, but all 4 sets have been taken down and moved to storage.
I had such an incredible experience working for the Neil Simon Festival this summer. I learned A LOT about what it's like being an actor as my job instead of just for fun. I learned that it's not always very glamorous (sometimes you have to move your set on and off the stage each night, or participate in strike, or do your own costume laundry) but it's definitely worth all the hard work. And sometimes it is glamorous (sometimes you get to stay for free at some beautiful condos in Park City.)
I got to participate in post-performance talkbacks throughout the season as well, and it is amazing to get to hear back from the most important people in the theatre, the audience! Hearing how the shows impacted them and made them laugh and feel things...there's nothing like it. Just another reconfirmation that THIS is what I want to do with my life.
I love the theatre and I love acting. I'm so grateful for this experience and because of it, I'm one step closer to taking on the world!
