Outlook in the Midst of Stress Week

I had never read The Crucible when I auditioned for this show, and after the first rehearsal I wasn't sure what to think. Awesome? Absolutely. The hardest show I've ever done? That too. Between praying that I can get my lines memorized in time and working on them about three hours every morning before rehearsal, most of the time I have no room for any emotion other than stress. Of course, as a result of...thirteen?...holy cow, thirteen years of SYT, I know that the end result will be worth every moment of the work.
I have to confess, I love this cast. I have been part of lots of fabulous casts, but I think this might be the first show of which I can honestly say that I want to get to know every single individual. I am really looking forward to the next couple weeks and already bummed that a week and a half are over already. It's been along time since I've been this excited about a show!

    I am also totally excited about this show, and I feel your stress but know the pay off will be amazing.

    If we both remember to do one critical thing (breathe!), I know we'll get through it just fine :)
