The ceremony was last night. When I got there I was actually really nervous. Uncomfortable. The ceremony was a bigger deal than I expected....it was in a really nice theater and a semi-dressy occasion. And what girl doesnt like to get dressed up from time to time? ;)
We took our seats and I swear I thought I was going to throw up. I really would have liked to have won the Best Actress category. That would have really meant something to me. But, I didnt. But once they announced that one and I at least knew the result - I could breath more easily. We didnt win Best Solo Show either - which would have been pretty cool too. BUT - we did win the audience award - over ALL those other shows. That's pretty incredible. Our teeny tiny production winning over plays with a cast and crew of 20 or more. And we were a tiny group of 5 - with me being the only performer! And we won the producer's award too, for having the biggest houses in our venue. That is pretty terrific too. I have to say, between me and the rest of my team, we were really good about getting people to come to the show - and with all the options one has for entertainment in this town - is no small task!!
My friend who came with us, as pure support.....said she almost cried when I gave my acceptance speech. (which I did not plan or think about - risking sounding like a blubbering ding ding --). Trust me, you will not remember ANYONE'S name up there - unless you go over them beforehand. I didnt even attempt any names, other than my director's and my producer's.
It was a lot to take in.....being there.....when all I really wanted to do in the beginning of all this was take a writing class. I knew I had something inside that needed to come out.
Funny how life works, isnt it??
So. What is that uncomfortable thing that is eating at you?? GO DO IT. :)
