I've always thought that matinee audiences were the worst. That was the only thing wrong with how today's performance went. For some reason, the Sunday afternoon crowd was very nonresponsive; so many things that the audiences on the other nights laughed, applauded or responded to fell to silent response from this afternoon's crowd. While this was a little discouraging, I feel confident enough in the job I did to know that I was giving it my best.
And thus ends our run of Baby. With this senior project of mine coming to an end, it's been a wake-up call for a lot of things. B.J. told me, Tabby and Steven how proud he was of the three of us, which made me realize how he's been there since I first came to this school and was on the running crew for his project. I realized that this will probably be the final show I do at this school with old friends like Steven and all the new freshmen I've been able to watch take their first steps towards growth. The biggest realization for me, though, was that, for once, I actually feel like I've grown as an artist. I've looked back on who I used to be and who I am now, and see that there's SO much difference. And yet I still feel that there's room to improve. The minute I stop admitting that, I stop growing, and Baby has made me see how much of that I can still do.
That wraps up my blog! Thanks so much to everyone who followed along and read about my progress. I plan to keep this up, and as soon as I get pics from the show I'll post them! Thanks to my friends and family for their support, Marcus for his amazing guidance, and of course, Jesus Christ, through whom all of this is possible!
