Does it get any better?Posted on 11/7/2005 at 7:29 AM - Post CommentWow! What a weekend!
It began with me on top of the world after my great presentation Friday. Then I fly back from Toronto and arrive just in time to get the front-of-house set up for our 4th performance of The Diary of Anne Frank.
Going into our first performance our ticket sales were only on par to break even. Not a great thing as we had budgeted a profit of $2000. However, we were "ok" with breaking even because the last 4 shows had LOST money.
However, in the time between the first Saturday show and the second week's first show (Thursday) we sold a ton of tickets! We closed Saturday to a sold out house and a standing ovation. We made almost $4,000!
It was a truly brilliant performance by all. This cast grew especially close and we just couldn't let it end. So we partied. And I felt good enough to go until 4:00 am when the cast party ended.
What a weekend.
I'm also really excited about the new friendships I started in this production. I'm not one to have lots of friends. I've always found them to be a bit of a burden. And the friends I do have are usually men. But I met two women in this production that I really clicked with. We already have made plans to get together this week. And we are all going to audition for the spring show (Plaza Suite by Neil Simon). I hope we all get a part!
And I'm back at work full time this morning! Ready to make all the final arrangements for the opening of my first test branch! I'm going to go make some calls to make sure things are ready for an opening before the end of this month.

Does it get any better than this? I just bet it does.
