exit stage right

i hate to admit this. but yes, i am suffering from a little post production blues. i haven't felt like this for the longest time. spotlights was a great success, by my standards. we were fucked so many times over but we still made it. there were so many underlying issues, some of which i didn't even know, but we still managed to pull through. i've met new people and caught up with old ones. it was really a privilege to work with every single one of you.

even though i was only a crew, i had my fair share of fun, moving the cubes and rescuing pokemon after devil. random blackout checks and patapon-ing the CANS. making sure the cast don't kick and screw up ah ma's spotlight and getting sugar-high on subway cookies! topping that was seeing the incredible amount of passion in everybody. be it the passion for theatre or for NexT STajE, or just for minding pokey's welfare, we were in this together. and even though i don't say this out loud, i am inspired.

to be honest, i was a little hesitant in the beginning. with army and other issues towering over me for the past 2 years, theatre was definitely not at the top of my list. and the last proper production i've been to was what? when i was still in aj? probably that was why i didn't agree to perform in the first place. i didn't feel inspired to do so. i didn't even know if i was still interested or capable of putting up a performance. thinking back, i do regret a little now. but i am still glad i was part of the team for spotlights. so rest assure, i will be around for july, even if it is just to remove that one cube.

so people, let's embrace the little break you have for now, and i will in europe (GRINS), before we kickstart the hectic rehearsal schedule for fresh blood. it can only be better.
