FOR THE LOVE OF PERFORMING...

Nicole Howard here…

Winter is finally behind us, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and Rising Sun members are getting their theatre on. This being my second season as a Rising Sun Ensemble member has made me giddy with excitement. Last Supper Rehearsals are well underway. Time has flown and I must say it’s hard to believe that we are less than three weeks until opening.

One of my favorite phenomenon of being in a show is that moment; about a month before opening when you feel like everything is a mess. You don’t know your lines, your character is unclear and you literally feel like pulling your hair out. Then as if by magic, it all comes together. All it takes is that one rehearsal. You look around at your fellow cast mates, and just have to smile. You’ve got this. Your heart races a little faster and your body temperature rises ever so slightly, opening night is creeping closer and you suddenly can’t wait to be performing in front of an excited audience.

See you at the show!
