Today was bittersweet. We had a really nice closing performance of A Grand Night for Singing. Sure, it's just a musical revue...no plot. But it's all Rodgers and Hammerstein. It's some of the best music ever written, in my opinion. I'm so glad that I did that show. And I'm glad that I got well again enough so that I could do my last 2 shows! I'm not sad at the show is closed now, though. It was time. It was fun, but it's time.
What's making me sad is that the majority of my friends did not come see the show. My family came. Some family friends came. Some friends (who are in my fan club) came. But everyone else....nope. I get that they're busy. Some of them were in shows and couldn't make it. I'm fine with that. But when I make a concerted effort to see my friends' shows, even though I totally can't afford to be doing that right now, and they don't return the favor and come support me? It hurts. I'll smile and shrug it off, but inside it cuts deep. Makes me feel like my show isn't as important as their show. It shouldn't feel like that, but it does. But like I said, I'll shrug it off and go on. I'll still go see their shows. I try to be as supportive as possible. Even when I can't afford it. Why? Because I love theatre. And I love my friends.
