Showtime = OUR Final Battle

This morning was the moment of truth; all of our hard work online over the last few months and VERY hard work these past few days finally came together. I, personally, feel that today was an excellent performance. Even with such limited time to put everything together, the entirety of the cast, crew, and orchestra pulled every last ounce of effort to pull this off. In a reflection of my performance, I was very satisfied. I know I did make a few mistakes (mostly missing queues, which I made up for by sneaking nonchalantly onstage in opportune moments), but my feature scene "The Prince's Tale" was better than I had predicted. I remembered almost all of the choreography and my handstand was stable held longer than I expected, totally surprising me.
Overall, I say the show was a great success, even with being put together in such as short amount of time. However, as amazing as doing this show was (the rest of the convention excluded), I have to say that certain things could have run better and more efficiently, and I will never take tech rehearsals for granted again, after having only a partial one.
I feel I learned more about the process of doing theatre than I had expected, mostly because the whole process was compressed into 3 days. But that is knowledge worth having for the future.
This ends my summer internship, and I will now get to enjoy the rest of LeakyCon with the rest of the Harry Potter nerds!
