I'm going through a thing right now.

I'm not sure what it is.

I don't know if it's been a long time coming. But I do think it's why my past few posts have been relatively short and not very personal.

But I'll try to keep this relatively short and only a little personal.

Tonight was one of the worst times I've ever had on a stage. This includes the time we were recording that performance of Into the Woods, and my wig literally flew off my head after I fell down some stairs. And the narrator laughed at me.

The thing that sucks after building a show with a group of incredibly talented people, of which you're really proud of, is when you fail, you don't just fail yourself. You fail this ensemble of incredibly talented loving people. And you fail the piece that you were really proud of.

And not only are you not having fun, but you're just trying not to break the piece even more than you already have.

For no other reason than you got in the way of yourself.

My next post will be about a box full of puppies and Santa and baby unicorns.

A haiku for Emjoy

Emjoy is the light
And the center and the joy
Of many souls and.

("many souls and" is my favorite part.)
