yesterday evening my friend from junior high and high school and I went to my high school's spring play.
it was so great to visit my old director and some of the newbies from my senior year that are now seniors themselves.
but it was so weird to sit in the audience and watch other people on that stage. To be back in the green room and not participating in the pre-show traditions. I saw one play in that beautiful auditorium when I was in junior high, and my only other experiences in there were on stage and backstage.
And it just felt so odd to me to realize that something that was such a huge part of my life is only just a series of memories now. I wanted so badly to just run up on stage and join in the show.
And even though I hate the gaudy, sci-fi chandelier they put in my junior year, that space is one of the most beautiful to me.
That space brought me best friends, the greatest frustrations, and the greatest excitement. It was so weird to be there and for the first time be an outsider.
All that whiny stuff being said, I still love that theatre and the show was adorable.
