Exhausted

I am absolutely exhausted. Not the kind of tired that a good night's sleep fixes, but the kind that settles into your bones after weeks of rehearsals, emails, fundraising, costume hunting, set building, problem solving, and carrying a hundred little details around in your head at all times. There are moments when it feels like I'm juggling an entire production with one hand while trying not to drop everything else in my life with the other. And yet, every time I walk into rehearsal, I am reminded why it's all worth it. Watching this cast grow, seeing scenes come together, hearing the music fill the room, and witnessing the passion everyone is bringing to OLIVER! makes all the stress and exhaustion fade, at least for a little while. I'm running on caffeine, determination, and sheer stubbornness at this point, but I'm also incredibly grateful. Sometimes the things that wear you out the most are the things you care about the most, and this show is certainly one of them.
