Opening Night!

As the Green Room began bustling with the sound of hairspray, flipping of scripts, voice warm-ups, and costume adjustments, the audience waited anxiously for the play to begin. Soon, when Merit told us that we had “Five minutes to places,” we knew it was time to get in character and attack!

As you may know, last night was Opening Night for “The Importance of Being Earnest.” After eight weeks of extensive warm-ups, rehearsals, hard work, and collaborate effort, we felt very prepared for the show. Everything that all of us had worked on lead to this very moment. It was time to show our audience what we are made of!

After the show, we had many audience members come up and remark how “the show was really awesome!” or compliment our “impressive British accents.” Overall, everyone had a great time and laughed a lot. However, the show could have not been made possible without the Stage Managers, Director, Assistant Director, Director of Tech, and everyone involved to make this production possible. If you do come to the show, we will have a very fun surprise at the end!
