7:48pm – Well it’s a little less than 20 minutes before the play begins. The doors opened 11 minutes ago. From what I’ve heard, people have been out there since 7pm. I’m in the green room. Makeup is still being applied, hair is being sprayed and there is an air of excitement.We had a close call earlier today. Dr. Jones, who plays Lane the Butler in the first act, is a professor in the science department and today in a lab something exploded on him and hit him in the eye. Fortunately, he was able to flush it out right away and his vision is not affected.
Well gotta go… time for company call… I’m going to be sharing a verse tonight.
36For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
-Romans 11:36

10:30pm – Wow! What a great first night! I found out that we only had six seats left at the end of the night! What a great way to start this series of performances. Our Director was so happy and so proud of us. A lot of the guys on my wing came tonight. It was great to feel so supported. Several of my professors came up to me afterwards to let me know that they had a great time seeing me make a complete fool out of myself… even more of a fool than usual that is!
