Today began with a fair amount of silliness. While I pre-set I got to giggle with the carpenter boys (who I am in love with) and gossip with our master electrician (who I am also in love with). It was really nice and, well, fun.
At one point our production manager, who is also our props designer, came on stage and asked me if I had looked closely at the "Shirley Community Center" bulletin board she had put together. I came over and I saw a fake calendar with silly classes on it - a key on a key chain - a hand written note - and a Kevin's menu. I gasped when I saw it and Kelly laughed, seeing I recognized it.
She told me she looked for something from Bennington especially, to surprise me. Looking at that menu tonight kinda just bowled me over: I missed school, I missed my friends, I couldn't believe Kelly had thought so much of me to design a bit of the show around me, I couldn't believe Bennington is actually over for forever. All of a sudden I was standing onstage, broom in hand, crying. Crying in front of my boss, my new friends, my colleagues and my superiors.
Later, I walked into the shop and I heard Kelly telling Van (our T.D.) about when I saw the menu. She had such pride in her voice and she said "... totally! She cried when she saw it!"
