I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. ~Oscar Wilde
This will be an incredibly short post, and I do promise a much longer one tomorrow.
I am exhausted to the core.
But the words "overjoyed relief" do not fully capture the euphoria I am feeling at this very moment. There is truly nothing in comparison to this feeling, except perhaps Opening Night.
Twelve hours...
...almost 40 auditioners....
...47 jawbreakers...
...more caffeine than any one human should consume in their lifetime...
...an amazing team of seven passionate theatrical individuals....
...and my production of "OZ!" has been completely cast.
God is so beautiful.
Theater is tragically wonderful...flawlessly frustrating...and epic in all its never-ending facets.
As of today, I don my "Director" baseball cap.
Tonight, I start my trip down the Yellow Brick Road and dust off my ruby slippers.
I have been waiting for this moment for my entire theatrical career.
OZ! has officially begun.
Here goes nothing.
Soli Deo Gloria.
