Backstage, before we opened, the actors were buzzing around nervously and excitedly. We knew we were sold out, and that the playwright was coming, but you never know how a show is really going to go until it's on its feet for the first time.
From an opening bit where a voice over artist narrates, the audience exploded with laughter. Onstage, it felt like a laugh track, turned up full blast. It didn't even seem real, to be honest. But it was intoxicating.
The show flew by, and as we took our bows, it was a tremendous feeling to see 99 happy faces smiling back at us.
Thank you to our talented playwright, cast, and all who came. We could not do this without you (and a very special thanks to the unsung heroes: our crew, who toiled in the booth at tech and at every run to make our show run seamlessly).
