Dry, stinging eyes
Lies
Tear filled mornings
Screaming in the snow
Stalling
Circles
Circles
Circles
It’s what I have to do

One week
No sleep
Angry moms
Isn’t there someone else

You have no idea
Blurry lights
Foggy windows
Moody Street
Ruined jackets
Tight throat
Tears
Tears
Tears
Silence
It’s what I have to do

One week
Lockers and white curtains
Chairs first
Confusion
Tape
Lost trust
Sore feet
Energy
Unplanned solos
Go
Go
Go
It’s what I have to do


Showtime
Bright lights
Sticky faces
Crafty moms
Smiles
Energy
Dancing
Voices
Singing
0.00000000001
Wing parties
Bows
Flowers
Family
Friends
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Happiness

A family


It’s what I have to do
For this

This peice is about my experiences with tech week, a rigorous, stressful week that all actors dread. A specific tech week was the worst for me, but the best relationships came out of it.
