Hi guys,
These last few days have been pretty rough. Though tonight, the show went really well. There were a lot of old people in the audience, mostly Kat's parents' retired friends. The show went perfect, aside from a few multimedia mistakes.
After the show, Shae and Kat had a "talk" which lasted about an hour, so Will, Gatsby, Hamish, and I all got to hang out. I really enjoyed myself, you know? It helped me not think about Sara and other things like that.
We started talking about the ghost "Earnest" that lives in the Cement Box, and how he's a good, kind spirit who likes the place, and likes making people feel at home. Gatsby told us about how his sister, who died at birth, is watching over him. His mother went to a "clairvoyant" who looked at a picture of Gatsby and said she saw a baby with him. It's a nice thing to think about.
After Shae and Kat came out, we went back into the theater and shut all the lights off... Waiting, listening, thinking about Earnest. Gatsby said the nicest thing:
"I wonder if Matthew came to see the show."
It was just so wonderful. I remarked that I saw some kind of flickering light, even though the theater was pitch black. Everyone but Gatsby eventually saw it. Not creepy... reassuring. I liked it. I liked that I was the first to see it. Maybe Earnest was showing himself to me...
It was a really wonderful, spiritual moment.
Then we opened the door, and some guy from the cast of Grease was pissing on it.
He ran off, and Shae made him go and clean it up by throwing a bucket of water on it.
It was a nice night, overall.
I sort of feel guilty having such a nice night after hearing such terrible news. But I've got to keep on living you know? While I didn't know Sara too well, she struck me as the kind of person who'd want me to have a good time with the show and be happy with my theatre buddies, even after all this happened.
Love,
Justin
