Not the Final Entry!
by John Zinzi on 02/08/11
Not long ago I would have predicted that the entry I would make to this blog after the show closed at on 2/6 would have been my final entry. I would have written a neat little piece and tied it all up with a tight bow of praise and thanks to all. But...Spelling Bee lives on! Who'd a thunk it?!
Yup... we've been extended to July 14; I will duly adjust the countdown clock on the website page to reflect our extended life.
But, but, but... in reality, our nightly times together are, indeed, over. Not at all a time for sadness--well, okay, perhaps a smidge--but rather for joy in many things: a terrific show, wonderful new friendships, enjoying old friends, and the great satisfaction of doing what we all set out to do. We put on the best show we could--and man oh man could we put on the best show!
The result was truly a project that was greater than the sum of its parts: a total collective pool of amazing talents on stage and off. What a great ride...and the bonus: we've grabbed a brass ring that lets us do it one more time. Woot! -JPZ
