Our little life here has ended with a far off sleep.

Greetings Blog Readers!
Mark here to finalize our last blog! Our show just closed, and our final performance went extremely well. We had a moderately sized house, and after our show closed, our respondents from KCACTF (Kennedy Center for the American College Theatre Festival) gave us their thoughts and opinions on our show. In a brief summation, they loved it!

Our transition into the Diana Wortham Theatre went surprisingly smooth. Our rehearsal went a bit long, but we got out all of our kinks. The next day, (April 9th) we had our morning performance for local Middle School and High School Students. The show went well, but you know, something had to go wrong! During the time of our "talk back" where the students got to ask us as actors questions about the show, the fire alarm (once again) goes off. This time, we can say that it was not our fault! After we were all cleared, we went back into the theatre, gathered our things and returned to UNCA where we awaited our final performance later that night at Diana Wortham Theatre.

And so, this ends our adventure with Object Theatre, and The Tempest Project. This has been an amazing learning experience for us all, and we as an ensemble and crew will all take away something valuable from this production. We will soon hear back from KCACTF with their written responses in addition to a potential invitation to tour with the festival itself. If we are invited to attend the festival, it will be the first time in UNCA history that something like that has occurred!!!

So with that, I shall take my bow, draw the curtain and say goodnight to you all. I hope you've enjoyed following up on our progress as we moved through our production. I also hope you received the opportunity to see The Tempest Project in person and hope that it was a wonderful experience for you.

Good night Theatre goers! And may the lights and boards of the stage soon bring us together again!

Signing off,
Mark
