A good decision

I ended up helping backstage last night for Kiss Me Kate (as a gofer for the stage manager – no moving heavy scenery for me – just lots of running about making sure the cast are in the right places). It was nice to feel part of it (or as much as you can be as stage crew) but I didn’t miss being on stage which was slightly surprising. I haven’t missed rehearsals, the stress of preparing for a show, the annoying politics that are part of every am-dram group I’ve ever been involved in. Taking a break was the right decision.
