On North Diversion Road
Great opening night.
the space was pretty much filled, thanks to complis, freebies, and excellent marketing, which earned many a walk-in audience.
shall think a little more about my two scenes, tonight being a matter of:
the first (sc. 2) - having audiences cold to comedy
the second (sc. 5) - we (as per Candice's expression) had the audience wrapped in suspense... you could hear a pin drop... and the gasps after.
reserve, preserve! anything to maintain the wonder of the night's scenes.
Many hugs are in order.

Yes, opening night was unbelievable. It was so emotional and so gratifying to finally see all that hard work and stress and tearing of hair come to fruition.
Unfortunately the awesome first audience set us up for complacency. I don't think we were expecting such a great reaction, and it seemed as though every night after that we were chasing that same elusive quality, which sometimes caused us to flounder and work too hard. But still...we succeeded in putting a great show together, both for ourselves and the audience.
PS. The word is "rapt". :-P
