So this show marks my first time in the ensemble in my professional career. Now, I mean that just as a fact, not as an "ugh, the ensemble" type comment. In fact, my mind has been blown in these past two weeks as to the amount of extra work one must put in when the circumstances given to you are sing, dance and insert random line during a scene change where you're grabbing a stool to take offstage.

This cast has risen to the challenge and have created a warm and inviting community chock full of relationships and intricacies. Me?

As I always say, "If you give a mouse a cookie…"
