My hiatus/theatre performance week is coming to a close tomorrow night. Which brings some good news and some bad news. > the good news is that I can finally get back to working on SBR (though I'll admit progress has been going slow. I'm really burnt out right now, but I'm trying) and posting occasional updates about it here on Scratch! > the bad news is that I only had four performances... singular shows across two days, then one day with two shows (which was today! Super tired). Though I do really want to do more! Being in front of a crowd, acting, doing the things I love, and just being in the theatre group I'm in (which is close-knit, accepting of everybody, and very family-like)- naturally is all energises me. Which honestly surprised me a lot when I first joined, since I'm not typically the sort to draw energy from crowds or people in general. I think the worst part about it all ending this year is that it's a big senior show; this theatre group can be outgrown, since it's a youth theatre. I'm going to miss them :(( > on a side note, I am genuinely so glad that I joined this theatre group. I am literally SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT now, and that's mostly thanks to my fellow cast members. Oh goddd I can't believe some of them are leaving, I'm going to ugly cry I swear-. And I can SING in front of people- and I'm generally better at singing, too. Now, I'm still kinda socially awkward... I always run out of things to say and I miss a lot of social cues, but, uh. That's autism. So. Mhm-hm. > now, if you'd like, I can make a separate project explaining all of my experiences and highlights during the shows, possibly after my last show tomorrow and my afterparty (where I am absolutely going to cry). Because... OH MY GODDD I DON'T WANT THIS PERFORMANCE WEEK TO ENDDD... though by the time I get around to making it, the new musical might've been announced (and the seniors who left have a slim chance to be selected to be the next directors!! Pretty much every senior who eventually leaves ALWAYS returns to help in some way). I hope that with a project like that I can convince others to join theatre groups!! I can't guarantee it'll be like mine, but... <333 > last thing- SBR updates in the link below!! There is going to be a potentional EXTREME shift in its production... [LINK PENDING]
