Closing night...and an update

So overall, the show went wonderfully smooth.
On the last night, it was more emotional then I expected. The director, Christy, gave us a "good job, love you all" pep talk, but it turned into a sharing of "at first, I thought this would suck, but oh well, it didn't" and things like that. When it was over, we went to turn in our scripts, costumes, and props to Christy. I went to hand in my cell phone bucket and she told me she wanted me to keep it. She also said she kept something from each of her favorite roles. I asked her, jokingly, how she knew this was a favorite role. She just shrugged and said, "Lucky Guess..."
Come to think of it, I actually do have one thing from each of my favorite roles.

The red band from Honk, as Grace
The green visor from Alice in Wonderland, as Tweedle Dee
And now the bucket from High School Musical, as Ms. Darbus!

After the show was cleaned up, and the crew started to break down the set, some of us headed to Village Inn Pizza for a little cast party.
Well, not entirely cast, as Jess Brighton, Samantha Wells, Ellen Putchak(sp?) and Kalia Simpson showed up just beacause they could. Which was fine, because I love them all to death.
Also, Tiye's younger brother showed up. He was adorable, and kept saying stuff like "The table had a baby!" and "I really like your dingy dong"(he meant my gong, but I had to add in a "that's SO what she said!")

It was like we all forgot this was our last night all together as a theater family.
Rachel made dirty jokes, Kloe(Lacy, Chloe Schrieber, whatev,) babbled about her ex boyfriend, and Will kept hugging me for no reason.
Then Zoe burst into tears and I remembered why we were there.
We said our goodbyes, andI didn't get home until midnight.
Most of us are going to be in this next year.
And.......Curtain on HSM.

Now I have to get back to work. I have thank you notes for my bat Mitzvah I have to write...sigh.

Now, I have nothing to do with my weekdays.
I feel so.......unaccomplished.
I also has a sad now.
