We killed it... again...
I came up with the script the day after we met about Operation: AOL. I was so excited... I couldn't help but text the ensemble, "We're back!!!"
The script: that same night... I typed the script and sent it out. Got a lot of feedback saying it was too "dark" and I needed to lighten things up. (fine fine....) Maybe deep down... I'm a dark and resentful person that's only personified in a play or skit. Hmmm.....
The music: No singing this time... just a bunch of background music that really made a difference. My dear sister was so flustered. She must've been ultra busy with work and life.... but as always... came through. I can't say enough about her..... she is simply amazing in everything she does. No complaints. Delivers at 110%. And does it..... with a smile. I love this Sis. One day, I might even dedicate a blog post just for her. That's how much I admire her.
The cast: We tried to add another member to the ensemble... but he refused, saying he didn't want to disrupt a good-thing. It's not a good-thing, it's a great thing. The actors did everything on cue. Even the Little Brother who didn't have a line. He was perfect. As Edward puts it... we can be like "愛回家" and as I would put it, we are "愛神家."
The nightmare: I already wrote about my nightmare on a previous blog. But the perfectionist inside me can't help but notice all the blemishes in the performance. 99% of the people will applaud us. But 1% (perhaps it's me) will notice things we could always improve upon. The lighting, the mic, the execution.... ARGH!!!! Why am I so petty?!?!?
And really.... REALLY.... none of this matters. What matters, is we were able to deliver a message to get people to volunteer for Operation: AOL. And if this little skit was able to get ONE more person to sign up.... then we accomplished our goal.
