Closing Night . . .

Greeted with not exactly the same fanfare as Opening Night, but still with enthusiasm, we come to the end my friends. What a fantastic run it has been: great performances, wonderful audiences and sold out shows, an utterly ridiculous Midnight Massacre and delightful reviews. Plus a totally awesome feature on BRAVO News. I think it is safe to call this run of DUEL OF AGES with the NEXT STAGE FESTIVAL a success.

And here we are. Closing night. A sense of accomplishment, and a feeling of sadness. I suppose it's good in a way to feel sad to say goodbye. It means that we did something right, something that will be missed.

My first post was about the madness of organising schedules of 25 actors plus directors and fight directors, and I suppose my last ought to comment how it's amazing that you can have such a large group of individuals come together to form an ensemble that works together seamlessly, and can, with their combined efforts, create magic.

No one said it would be easy. And darn it all, it wasn't.

But that doesn't make it any less fun.

And rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported such a unique show. We truly do appreciate you guys coming out and spending time with us. Here's hoping we shall meet again soon!
