And just like that....

we are done.

The show is closed.

It's been an odd week.  I did have the usual "the show is over so now it's time to get sick" thing happen....but I was sick for only about 12 hours.

I have also had this odd feeling that although the show is over...it does not feel quite over.  No, I don't know what I mean by that...it's just a feeling.


Two things were said to me during the run that have shifted my perspective.  Things that in my 35+ years of acting I have never heard before.



"this has changed me."

"this healed something in me I didn't know needed healing."


All I could think...I understand....and I am experiencing this with you as well....


I feel changed.

I feel healed.

I seem to have let go of some of the fear that has gripped my throat for far too long.


I don't know what this means,  I don't know what is next....

I do know I am endlessly grateful for this work, for Rod, for my son who gave his blessing, for the innumerable people who supported this project, for the folks who sat in the dark together with us as we shared this, and for all the folks who wanted to share this but couldn't.

gratitude

deep, warm, gratitude

Thank you.
