We made it to intermission on schedule. Several guests gathered to cheer me on, fascinated by the scope and complexity of the production, a few non-relatives wondering where I found those wonderful young ladies. Anna pronounced perfect in her role, what a wonderful job I was doing, and how they couldn't wait to hear the rest of the story. Some even said how privileged they were to have been invited. As my well-wishers continued out to the Great Hall for refreshments, Peter Anderson came in from the production van to see how I was holding up, told me I was doing great, and it all looked good so far. All this, while I dealt with a myriad of technical questions from the crew. And then, before I ever left the stage, the audience began returning to their seats for Act Three. |
