1 This just in: the play was fun last night!!!
2 When that show performs, it performs with heart, lemme tellya!!
3 I just am bothered by the fact that we now have to sacrifice our second Friday, tradionally Alumni Night, for the Winter Ball. This happened because Christmas used to start later.
4 Anyway, the show came off without a hitch, really. Medea rocked the house last night. But so did all of the magic of a show that was never supposed to have reached the stage. Thanks go out to Jose, Sparky, and Nhat for really kicking in and helping keep the Drama Workshop alive, and the sound and light cues going.
5 Sparky was backstage, orchestrating the scene changes, and basically doing a million duties at once.
6 Jose did his usual masterpiece on lights, while Nhat hit every sound cue perfectly. The scene changes went beautifully.
7 But the cast...
8 Just amazing stuff. They have charm, poise, and they make it look as though they are having the best time around every time they come out on stage.
9 So if you were just THINKING of going on Saturday night, think again. This show is nothing short of a miracle. The Workshop was practically dead two months ago. I was ready just to get some nails and seal it up.
10 But one small miracle led to another. I recall the Sunday afternoon that Doan and Angie said they'd do it. I remember immediately running to Tower on Bascom and buying a CD with the Moody Blues' Your Wildest Dreams on it. That song begins with the words, Once upon a time...
11 Three months ago I dreamed that we would have a fall show entitled Once Upon a Time.
12 Two months ago, I thought the Drama Workshop was offically dead, and that I was just smiling and telling kids,"Yeah, we might have a show..." even though I wasn't so sure at all.
13 Well, I have a poster in my room that says, "If you can think it, you can do it."
14 In my wildest dreams...
15 I never thought it would be this fun, or this good.
16 So we close Saturday night, beginning at 8.
17 Please come enjoy our miracle.
18 I hope to see y'all there.
19 Welcome home, man.
20 Peace.
Once Upon a Time...
