I dunno why everyone in the show is tired.

[m--sykes]

Good. I’m glad one of us isn’t nervous anymore.

[roni-faist-blog]

You don't need to be nervous.... You've been doing great, and next weekend is going to run exactly like this weekend.

[m--sykes]

I dunno why everyone in the show is tired.

[m--sykes]

Not nervous anymore, cutie?

[roni-faist-blog]

No, cause, well.... We're halfway over now. So I don't have, like, opening night jitters anymore. You know?

[m--sykes]

I dunno why everyone in the show is tired.

I feel great!

[roni-faist-blog]

I don't know either. I love it, it's so exciting!

[roni-faist-blog]

Eeeee, it's tech week!

[m--sykes]

Eeeee, you’re so cute.

[roni-faist-blog]

Eeee, you need to stop me the next time I want coffee. I can't stop fidgeting!

[roni-faist-blog]

Eeeee, it's tech week!

And I had coffee!

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[sjmusings]

That does sound really interesting! I can not wait to see it! If you all need painters to help with the set, I’d be happy to sign up and help! I’m sure you’ll be amazing at it! I’ve seen you in some of other shows! At least I hope it was you?

[roni-faist-blog]

I, um.... I really have no idea if they need help with set painting. You'd have to ask Jackson about that. And, well.... Probably wasn't me. This is my first show here, actually. 

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[sjmusings]

You probably think I’m so clueless or dumb or something but what is A Chorus Line about? It sounds interesting judging by the title.

[roni-faist-blog]

It's about a bunch of dancers trying out for a role in the chorus of a musical. So, it's a show about the audition process, basically, and the lives of all these dancers and actors. It is really interesting, I love it. My character is a former professional dancer who hasn't had any good jobs in a few years and is coming back to dance on Broadway, so it's kinda weird, playing a character a lot older than I am. But I really, really love being in the show.

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[candace--sampson]

Mhm! They keep you from feeling tired and make you feel excited. You totally do, Roni. You’ve got it all down pat.

[roni-faist-blog]

Oh, I didn't know that. I was always afraid that nerves would make me jittery and unsteady..... But thank you, Candace. I.... I'm really glad you think that. It means a lot.

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[candace--sampson]

Nerves are good though! I was terrified before I performed my first show as a leading lady. You’ll be good, though.

[roni-faist-blog]

They're good....? Okay, if you say so. Thanks, Candace, I mean, we've worked so much on this show. I think I have everything down by now.

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[sjmusings]

It’s okay! I’m easily confused, so don’t worry about it. Oh what play are we doing this time?  Or well musical? 

[roni-faist-blog]

It's a musical this year, we're doing A Chorus Line. I was so happy when I found out we were doing a dance heavy show.

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[sjmusings]

So that’s what they call it? Now everything makes total sense! Are you in the musical?

[roni-faist-blog]

Mhmm, yeah..... Oh, good! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. And yeah, I am. I'm playing Cassie, she's, um.... she's one of the main dancers. It's really fun. 

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[candace--sampson]

Oh, my god, it is next week! That’s so exciting. It’s going to be amazing.

[roni-faist-blog]

I'm really excited, Candace, it's going to be so much fun! But, um, still really nervous, you know?

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

[sjmusings]

What’s tech week? I feel like I really do miss everything.

[roni-faist-blog]

Oh, um, tech week is..... it's the week before a show goes up, where we're getting all the kinks worked out and all the set and costumes and lights... It has really long rehearsals. And it's next week, for the school musical.... Yeah.

[roni-faist-blog]

Next week is tech week, oh my gosh!

Time really flies!

[s--torres]

... Ah.

[s--torres]

Because… My parents are divorcing. I dunno.

[roni-faist-blog]

.....Oh. I'm sorry, that's awful....

[s--torres]

... Ah.

Well… My year is ruined.

[roni-faist-blog]

Why.... Um, why is your year suddenly ruined?
