Opening Night
I stand behind the curtain,
anxiously excited for the play to begin.
Tremendous hard work
has led me to this moment.
As I walk onto the stage
I feel the power of the cast’s voices,
mingling together to create one perfect sound.
Each person is essential.
When somebody messes up
others set the play back on track.
As I sing “Where Is Love” I remember the day I was cast as Oliver.
Joy, pressure, and excitement wash over me.
As the play goes on, adrenalin
replaces fatigue
leaving only the present moment.
Finally, I feel a sense of peace that comes after a storm.
Yet, I feel sad that it is all over.
