Here are some shots of the final dress rehearsal onstage for Music Man. I love that I can look at these after the show closes (which isn't till May 15th, but still) and all the memories and feelings and sensations of being onstage flood back. Stay tuned for more, these are just a few I acquired!

We have two more weekends left starting tonight, and I am already getting a bit sad about closing the show. The energy onstage, developing a character and expressing it to the audience, dancing to live music, and the relationships you form in a cast are unforgettable and such a great gift. I teared up in the grocery store the other day when I thought about what a wonderful gift God has given me in being able to be part of this show and cast. That is the double edged sword of theater-- you get rejected sometimes, yes, but you also get to be part of an amazing community for just a short while sometimes. And it doesn't last forever, so it's bittersweet. Yet we come back again and again...
If you want to come see the show (please do!) it's at Lakewood Cultural Center and you can get tickets by calling the box office at 303-987-7845. Some shows are not available to buy tickets for online.
