We had our closing performance of the show — Lost and Found — tonight. The house was more full than it had been for any of the other five performances, and the audience was great — very receptive, they laughed a lot, and overall it was just an amazing way to end the show.
And we even had a lot of questions and comments about my play Safe and Sound during the talkback session. :) (Usually there aren’t that many.) And to my surprise, we won third place again! (It had been looking like one of the other plays was pretty solidly in third.) Not to mention that the play I assistant directed, Prodigal Son, won first place. It was a very good night. :)
Anyway, on my walk back home from the theater, I realized that I already miss it. And it had only been five minutes! (Well, plus cleaning up the building afterwards.) The cast and crew are great, the project is great, the audiences are great, and the plays are great. I love New Play Project so much. Seriously. It’s like my new extended family. And I already know that I’m going to be going through withdrawals within a few days. Time to write some more plays… :) (Yeah, I kind of haven’t done much of anything on my Script Frenzy piece.)
Oh, and thanks to all of you who came! I really appreciated it. And to the rest of you, well, there’ll be plenty more to come. :)
