A LOVE LETTER

A love letter to theatre

I love you arriving early to rehearsal to make sure everything is ready and in the right place.

I love you tiny moment before the first few people arrive while I sit sipping coffee imagining what the show will look like. I love you first three people to arrive as we have an unexpected chat about our day before the rest of the cast arrives. I love you scheduling …. I didn’t think I did… but I do. I love you silly questions about scheduling that are answered on the rehearsal schedule. I love you moment when an actor misses a line and has to restart. I love you missed music cue. I love you face of the confused actor once the music cue has been missed. I love you crazy costume lady… whomever you are. I love you knowing look at the stage manager when an actor blows you away with their talent. I love you accomplishing the impossible with those you love.

Our Community

“How truly amazing is it that we find ourselves surrounded by friends that support not only the start of our theatre company, but our relationship in such a positive way?” Lexie and I have said the following phrase more times than I can count. There was a time that this wasn’t the case. Lately, I have been thinking of the shifts we go through in life. The people that we have to ask to “please exit stage left” so that we can create a more positive stage picture for ourselves and to make way for those waiting in the wings. Over the last couple of years, we have had to let certain people in our lives go. Not because we dislike these people. There are many people who I care about that (though I may not have realized it at the time) made me a more negative person.
