I was in a play

[forgotten_aria]

I was in A Winter's Tale performed by the Concord players. I was mostly just a flautist playing one of the old taiko songs. It was an amazing group of people with a super respectful, amazing director. They only brought me in for the barest minimum of rehearsals. I felt very comfortable with being able to change the music to meet what the director needed, which made me feel competent.

I was feeling too busy with the rest of my life to really enjoy it, however. Mostly it was a lot of waiting since I was in one scene of a 2 hour play. I'm also a horrible actor, which I'm ok with. I think I also realized I like performing music better because you're allowed to make eye contact with the audience, which makes it easier to make that audience connection.

It was some good memories and I'm glad I did it. It also made me actually enjoy Shakespeare for once. :p

Three cheers for a successful show!

And yeah, theater's often a whole lot of hurry-up-and-wait, especially for smaller parts. Hopefully you had a good backstage distraction.
