Closing “A Christmas Carol”
I never got a chance to talk about what it was like for me to close my last show! Well, sad first of all. My sadness was simply to close a run of a show that I really loved. I know it is healthy to move onto the next one, but I just love the stage so much. It depressed me to see it all empty. I found myself facing the empty stage after strike and staring. I was just looking at the empty stage and I was so sad. I was not trying to be dramatic. No one was there. I was just feeling. In fact, no one knows I did this and this blog is the first time I have talked about this.
Closing a show is not fun for me. Sometimes, if I am not happy in the cast or the show (this is rare, but it does happen), I am happy to leave.
Right now, I am just thinking about my last show. I have not performed since December 21st and I miss the stage so much. I know I am in the right business. My hunger for it never dies. I cannot wait until I get to be on the stage again. That will be a great feeling.
… and here is a clip of another show that has closed …
