Cold Feet, Perhaps?

Oh my, it is now the day before our opening performance! What is there left to say besides "break a leg"? It seems at this point that there is nothing really left to do but to go all out when we perform at Collegewood. Going through a semi-dress rehearsal today, lines and actions flowed for the most part quite smoothly except for minor mistakes here and there. Tomorrow, I just pray that nobody forgets their lines or just blanks out on stage. I have faith in my classmates and I believe they'll be just fine though. I think today we were just a bit sloppy in our run through, thinking as though we had already won the battle. The three major comments our director had for us were lines, projection, and mistakes. Once on stage and in front of those bunches of little faces, I think a sense of self will disappear as we all come to embody and embrace our characters fully to evoke reactions from the audience. At this moment, I don't especially find our script particularly interesting, but perhaps the children might though I do believe the vernacular to be a bit above their level of thinking. Who knows what will happen? Only time will tell, and for me that means tomorrow! Yikes!
