All things come to an end

So my internship for the summer is now completely finished. We had our
last show and I think that we really went out with a bang. The audience that we had that afternoon was loving every second of the show and the cast and crew really gave their all that day. This whole process has been really great for me. I have had so much fun in the past month, made some really good friends, learned lots, and I will never forget everything that we have accomplished together. Its really cool to look back at where we started and think just how far we went. When we started we were basically a nice community theatre but by the time we closed we had become the theatre that Pip and Rod had wanted and more.

I have mentioned before how the cast and crew have become such really good friends and that is another part of the journey that has been great. If you would have asked the cast about adding to the run time of the show it would have been a pretty strong no. But as we were starting the last show there were lots of comments about how we should
have added more shows and things like that. Nobody wanted to be done because it would mean that our family that we had created was parting.

One thing that I really like that I think would be fun to bring back would be how we started and then how we finished. The very first time that the cast was together we all made a circle and did some introductions and sort of started the show as one group. Then at the end of the show we all got together again in our circle with the crew members as well and finished the way that we started. It was a nice little beginning and closing thing with everyone.
