They say it is always best to go out with a bang, but considering the nature of Annie Get Your Gun, the statement rings true in more ways than one. The show closed with a full house and a standing ovation. It was great to be there to witness the evolution of this show from an atmosphere of confusion to one of fun, excitement, buckets of talent and wonderful friendships. I could not have asked for a better cast of people to work with in the end and I will never forget my first experience choreographing an adult production. It was such a laugh and such an awesome learning experience. Really eye opening to be on the other side of the stage...
And as the curtain closed on Annie, the final days are here at Groton. Speaking of learning experiences... It has been quite the journey. The students, the staff, the parents - everyday I got to take away something that will undoubtedly assist me in my career for years to come. I will truly miss everyone there and cannot believe it is already time to start the next phase down in Mattapoisett. I feel like I am in the midst of everything in Groton, but it is better to leave on a high note and take all the lessons I can from what these past 3 months have taught me as I settle into the place I will hopefully be in for quite a few years to come.
Here is to those whom over the past 12 weeks have been enlightening, energetic and enriching. It has been quite a ride...
