The Waiting Process

That is four months away! I thought to myself, well I guess we could go over it a few more times, just to make sure we have it right. In truth, at this point I just wanted to hand it over to the theater and never look at it again! It was time to let our creation go!
The night of the presentation I was extremely nervous, as I was the only one who was willing to present, The Hat,” a musical performance never before seen on stage, and never being on stage before in my life, (except as a penguin in 2nd grade) I was a wreck! We had background music that I had to read along to, hitting certain words at just the right moment. As I approached the members of the board directly in front of the stage, the music started and I began reading, swaying from one foot to the other, shaking and tripping up on my words, I finally reached the end and took my seat as fast as I possibly could! “You did good,” my partner Rob reassured me as he took my hand and squeezed it. I had my doubts, had I messed up our only moment? All these years of hard work, why didn’t I think to hire an actor to present this play! Even though I was frazzled, we left with high hopes of being given the opportunity for our play to be performed.
Now the waiting had begun. We were told that the board would not be making their decision until the end of March!
