Children's Theatre, End Of An Era.

The Captive Carousel (Children's Theatre 2008)

Good work Lee, letting 2 days pass. Well done ;-)

What is on my mind? Where do I begin. Let's start with theatre. (When is it not?)

Last night I went to dinner with my original theatre friends. I call them original as it was the first drama class I had taken since high school and we all stuck together. Joel, Brooke, Kate and John H were there. Mel, Darren and Murali (The tutors) came and Jenny, the most incredibly woman, the woman who changed my life and the woman who I totally idolise and want to follow in the footsteps of were there also.

Missing were Andrew, Renee, Kim, Karen, John K and Scott.

Went to Little Creatures in Freo, food was amazing. Jenny and I ended up sharing two dishes as we both couldn't decide what to have. Wine was amazing!

Anyway, it really hit me on the drive home that is it. A lot of them are graduating or moving on somehow and we are parting. It actually hurt a little inside. I know I have made amazing other friends who will still be there. This is different though. My first lot. The day had to come.

I am just glad next semester I still have Joel, Andrew and Mel. And next year Joel, Kate (When she returns from Chile) and I will do one more (And the final *cry*) round of Children's Theatre. 3rd time for all of us, but there is a good purpose which I can't outline now.

So I guess I wanted to say Thank You to all of them. For changing my life, for making me feel really accepted and for teaching me so much about who I want to be and what I want to do. I didn't know where my life was going nor did I have a shred of confidence before I met any of them and now my life is totally different.

I will miss them all very much and wish them the very best in the next step, the next chapter of their lives.
I know I have other plays, and have done other plays, but Children's Theatre made me.

My blog title is a tribute to every one. The song "Is this your hat, can I wear it?" drove everyone crazy and yet made many laughs in Lit By Limelight.

The Captive Carousel captured my heart and Lit By Limelight truly was an amazing adventure for this Tin Soldier.
