Two Weeks and Counting...

I cannot believe that we are two weeks out from showtime! I remember my reading party back in August and just trying to arrange all of the details for that. And now, a show. Full cast, props, set, lights, advertising, marketing, ticket sales, costumes, drama...

I am absolutely grateful for everyone that has kept me going through all of this. As I have been writing in my posts, there have definitely been a number of times when I just wanted to throw in the towel. I thought that I couldn't do this, handle this. I thought that all of this was bigger than me. And you know what, I was right. It was too much for me and bigger than me. It was only with God's help that I could do any of this. So I want to give credit where credit is due. This isn't my doing, it's His.

While the small fires continue (as I just had to put one out a few days ago), there are the tiny blessings in between. And for that I am eternally grateful. By this time in two weeks, we will have done one show, preparing to do another. A dream that I have had for years, finally being realized.

So keep my cast and crew in your prayers, minds, and hearts as we round out to the end. This is when it really gets tough. Long nights, final meetings, last minute calls, sudden deliveries; it all comes down to this.

Don't forget, July 9th at 8pm and July 10th at 7pm. Tickets are on sale now!

Winding Down...

So we are getting closer and closer to the opening of the show and I have been a nervous wreck. Seriously! It's been crazy, and as we get closer there are new problems popping up at every corner. It's a bit frustrating and I"m trying not to freak out. I'm trying to put a positive spin on it all. I keep telling myself that I have all of this opposition because this thing is suppose to happen. But I really just want to have a freak out moment. Deadlines weren't met on time, people were being unresponsive, and a whole bunch of other drama that I won't list. But they were all worthy of a freak out moment.

Now we are down to three weeks! THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!! Where did the time go? I remember having my reading party in August and now...The ride has been amazing and I have learned a lot about myself. I just pray that He continues to use me, despite my faults.

Tickets are now on sale! $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under, $15 at the door. Hit me up or email mainedramapro@gmail.com to find out how to purchase your tickets. Show times are July 9th at 8pm and July 10th at 7pm. Come on out and support.
