Tribute to Theatre

So I've come to realize that every show I've done since I was in high school has had a defining line in it that means something to me. A "goodbye, don't forget me" moment. I've decided to write them down so I never do forget.

"They tell me every dream must end, and even though you say it was pretend, and though I'm never going back again... it never was a dream." -Starmites (2006)



"As we travel on, love's what we'll remember..." -There's a Little Bit of Broadway in All of Us: A Variety Show (2007)



"When destiny calls you, you must be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on. They'll see in time, I know. We'll show them together, 'cause you'll be in my heart..." -Once Upon a Time: A Disney Variety Show (2008)



"Forever... in Never-never land." -Peter Pan (2009)



"Take an umbrella, it's raining." -The Curious Savage (2009)



"Look at me one last time. Don't forget what you see. One more kiss and then say goodbye." -Miss Saigon (2010)



I got really attached to Miss Saigon... Moreso than I was to Peter Pan. And that's saying alot. The cast was so small, and we all got along. Well, I got along with everyone. My cast has been my family for the last four months... I just don't know what to do with myself.

It's so weird... the source of most of my joy and all of my stress for the past few months is now out of my life... forever. It's finally starting to set in. I think I may go cry now.
