Chewing Gum & Graphite.

• Madras House ended
• And we had our cast party (which was a lot of fun, but kind of disappointing in the end)
• I’m realizing how much I’m going to miss everyone; the cast was remarkably wonderful
• Apartment hopes and worries
• Not a lot of sleep
• Cupcakes
• Last night, I wrote an 11 page manifesto about what kind of theatre I want to make (which felt extremely pretentious but led me to some really interesting ideas)
• Tony Kushner was in one of my classes today
• Ready for it to be summer

This time last year: run crew for Tisch mainstage.

This year: in Tisch mainstage.

Pretty cool. 

There was one awkward pause in the show on Friday but Adam and Ty came to see it and then on Saturday so many people came and it was overwhelming. Alexis got me flowers and my parents took the two of us out to lunch and I got a lot of hugs and sometimes I question why I want to be an actor because it’s difficult and uncertain and I get so nervous sometimes but then I do a performance like we did on Saturday and I remember why.

Alexis won free tickets to see Peter Bjorn and John at the Bowery Ballroom last night and it was so much fun. There were two openers: we missed the first one, but the second was this all-girl band from Tokyo called The Suzan and they were precious and really enjoyable. When we got back from the show, we had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. PB&J city.

Yesterday evening and most of today was spent doing Tisch’s 40 in 24 festival (which actually turned out to be 20 in 24). It was awesome and the play I was in was funny and everyone in my group was lovely and by some stroke of luck my play and the one Adam wrote were performed in the same theatre, so I got to see his, which was nice.

Now it’s late and one of our windows is open (because it is getting colder and I’m so excited about that) and I feel strange and I can never be eloquent in times like these; I just want to like, break a few things and go wander through the city. I dunno. I should probably just go to sleep.
