Goodbye, but not forever

Yesterday, we closed NARNIA the musical.

I was somewhat sad because I made so many new friendships. It was sad because I had a great time making the show, and it felt as if the performances went by so fast. We sold out every performance which has never been done before. They even talked about doing an encore performance, a "back by popular demand" kind of thing in January. The following is a letter I received from the staff of SABA, it was written to all the actors.

"We would like to just say WOW! What an incredible run we had. It was truly an amazing time and a blessing. Your children have blessed our lives in so many ways, and brought a little bit of magic, smiles, and tears to over 2000 people this weekend! This has been the most bonded cast we have ever had, and being the largest, it just blew us away. There were so many new friendships made, and stories that I heard over the course of the workshop and show about how the kids helped each other out in times of need that it brought tears to my eyes. Every single child in this production just has a heart of gold and is bursting with talent! They truly have a passion for what they do, and you can see that when they walk on stage! We have NEVER sold out every performance in our history!"

I just can't express how much fun I have had and what I have learned. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and prayed for me. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for my stuffed reindeer and kisses and for the break a leg notes you wrote me.
