I feel like a walking zombie, and I don't think I have ever craved sleep more than the past two weeks.
Last week just happened to be the tech week/opening for my university's production of Cinderella and let me tell you it's pretty awesome. Besides being completely sleep deprived, I have been having so much fun. I love the cast, as we have become like a big, crazy, family.
All of our shows have been sold out so far and every showing this weekend, with the exception of one which has very few seats left, is completely sold out!
What's really cool is that we are partnering with Shared Hope International, which is an organization to help those who have been, and still are, stuck within human trafficking.
We are giving 40% of all our proceeds to them. Knowing that we are performing not only for leisure and pleasure, but also to help a cause which is so much bigger than people realize. Human trafficking is still happening all over the place, and knowing that we are taking part in the fight against it makes us as a cast work that much harder to provide the best performances we can.
So far, it has been a success!
Here are some pictures from this last weekend...

I have been so proud of our cast so far, and I know we are going to knock it out of the park this week! All I can say is that I hope my energy lasts! We have a show tomorrow night, Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday night, not to mention that we have to take down the entire set Saturday night after the play, and we have the cast party... Hooray for all nighters!
Luckily, next week is Thanksgiving break.
Thank goodness I will have time to rest!
