02-11-22 Opening Night Joy
Today was full of a nervousness that was full of joy and anticipation rather than abject terror. I got a lot more done at work than I thought I would and then went to pick up Diet Pepsi for the green room. Who would have guessed that would be the beverage of choice for a bunch of young men?! Next stop was Sweet Gestures for some heart shaped chocolate lollies for the cast and crew. I finally made it to the theatre and blew up 15 Alien faced balloons and decorated the change and green room. I was all set by the time everyone arrived and there was a happy atmosphere before the show. There was nearly a full house and the show was outstanding. The audience laughed in all the good places and were moved when it called for. Afterward Duncan was toasted with champagne by his friends, some of whom had come from Alberta to support him. That was nice to see. They were all going to the pub after and I was glad to have the excuse that I wasn’t drinking as I don’t want to sit across a table without masks. It is so important I stay healthy, especially now. I am happy to be home having my tea and puzzling, glowing from another show under my belt. I only wish we had gotten permission to stream it so that more people from afar could see it. On the other hand, I am glad to not add that to the stress list right now. I am glad I took this project on. I had my reservations at first but I seem to always end up where I am supposed to be.
