I didn’t think being onstage would be so draining.

It didn’t seem like it during Mind Over Matt, but I may have simply forgotten: that play was only almost three years ago. In retrospect, though, I might not have been out of shape back then. Or I might not have had to be “up” quite as often. Or I might not have needed to “act” as much.

The character Matt was a lot like me. There were a few personality differences that made it a lot of fun, but it wasn’t really a stretch. Bradford Winter? Not me. Not at all. I mean, he even likes wearing a tie, for God’s sake!

Regardless, everyone both onstage and off survived Opening Night, no one broke their legs and we’re looking forward to five more excellent performances. After that, well, I don’t know about waiting three years to be in another play, but I’ll definitely need a long nap.
