i performed tonight and it was weird
i'm in the theatre dept, but the vocal dept does one or two operas each year in this thing called opera workshop and they needed a narrator so my teacher asked pretty much everyone else and they couldn't so they asked me and i took the job and we barely rehearsed and i felt incredibly unimportant because i didn't know any of the singers except for like two
and we went on tonight and i narrated and played it up and i haven't been on a stage and really done anything in so fucking long like you don't even know but i hammed it up (because it was a farce) and i responded to everything and music and just everything and i felt good about my performance but i didn't really get a lot of laughs or anything
but then we bowed and i got more cheers than like everybody except for cinderella and the prince and it was so weird the only people i knew in the audience were my parents and like one of my teachers and i don't even know
but then i went through the lobby and all these people were like "you were so good!" and my chemistry teacher saw me and was like "AHHHHH i didn't know you were in this!" and gave me a huge hug and then all pouty was like "i wish you weren't leaving next year" and i just wow i thought she liked me but i always thought i kind of annoyed her and it meant a lot to hear that from her because she's like my favorite teacher and just wow okay
