“The feeling when you step on stage, the lights blinding you, with the crowd roaring. Your heart’s beating so fast, but the fear falls away. Everything you’ve worked so hard for, the hours of rehearsal, the laughter, the tears; have all led to this. And as you take your last bow, you squeeze your friends’ hands a little tighter. Theatre is fleeting. In a week, it’ll all be a fond memory. But for right now, the moment is alive. And you’re here.”
