Well, the weekend run is over and I have to say that it was awesome. I have never been involved in an interactive production before and it is something quite challenging and also very rewarding! The audiences seemed to love the show and we had many, many great comments on the show as well as individual performances.
As an actor the challenge for me came in having to be “on” for 3 or so hours. No intermission, no walking “off stage”. Maintaining the energy for that long was exhausting and at the end of the show it felt like I had been run over! Now- I have to say that if I didn’t have a ”day job”, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so tiring, but- I think that anything that you concentrate on for that long that hard is draining.
We have two more shows scheduled at this time and I understand that more will be booked as the year continues. The show will eventually have a couple of different “casts” so that the “show can go on” with or without the original cast.
I have met some wonderful folks during this show and I will miss them and I do hope to be fortunate enough to work with several of them in the future. Till the next adventure----Farewell to Finnegan.
