Clueless(the movie), Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace, Good Morning Miami, and a rerun of the one-hour season finale of last season's Friends. That's how long it took me to fold and stuff 400 programs for Our Town. Well, not quite. I came in about 30 minutes into Clueless, and I finished about 20 minutes into the last Friends. But still. That's an awfully long time to sit there folding pieces of paper in half.

But I deeply and sincerely hope that we have to copy more. I hope that 400 isn't enough, and we have so many people show up that we need to do more programs. And I won't even complain about folding them. Not one peep. If we have more than 400 people between the two nights, I'll be beyond thrilled. I'll be elated. Jumping up and down. Peeing my pants with excitement. Dancing around backstage with Laurel. Saying, "I told you so!" to everyone who thought we couldn't fill the place.

But I'll be happy even if we don't get that many people. I'll be happy if my kids do a great job and all the pieces fit together. I'll be happy, regardless, because I know I've done the best I can do this show at this point in my life. I've poured myself into it, and it's going to pay off. Lives have already been touched, and isn't that what it's all about?

And oh crap... I just realized that I haven't done encouragement cards for my cast yet for opening night. Eep. I should get going on those pretty soon. I guess I'll have to save the individual quotes for the post-show cards... I just won't have time to do them on these ones.
