It’s opening night. I’m alone in my dressing room, enjoying the quiet still before the my fellow actors arrive, the theater fills with excited theater patrons, and the unmistakable electricity, and a very large part of what we love as a theater community comes to life. What can I say about this production? It has by far, been the best experience I have had in Second Life with putting a show together. I have never met a more pleasant, passionate, enjoyable group of people who were all in when it came to putting the best show possible together for our audiences. You are all in for a tread, as I have no doubt that you are about to see that come shining through in their work. Many of you know this show, and those who don’t, welcome to the family! Enjoy! Ella Woods
