Philadelphia, PA
We had been gearing up for these two weeks since the day we found out how many shows there were going to be in Philadelphia. Later of course, more shows were added and in the end we did 28 shows in 11 days including a 15-pack. It was literally a marathon and on top of that, the bigger holidays for many people were thrown right into the middle of the mix.
Luckily, everyone was in the holiday spirit and jolly, ready to take on the crazy days that were ahead of us.
Since we opened the show on Christmas Day, most of the holiday celebrations happened on the three days off we had. It was almost our little holiday treat since that was the first time we had three days off since before the start of rehearsals.
Enjoying the time off, we all took full advantage of it, from finally finishing the Christmas shopping, to exchanging gifts, Secret Santa exchanges, White Elephant parties, dinner celebrations, and sleep!
Some people were even able to see some friends and family from home while others were able to venture home for the beginning of the holidays.
For the others that were not able to do so, Santa did visit and oh boy did he ever! The mail load was increasingly larger than what it normally is. So, even though it may not have actually felt like Christmas with two shows on what normally is a day to spend with your family, we still made it as much like a holiday as we possibly could.
Keeping our spirits high and counting down the shows, it was time to bring in the New Year and no better way than to be surrounded by friends and the ones we care about.
Happy 2015! May it bring lots of luck and joy to everyone.
We all survived Philadelphia!
On the road again to Cleveland, OH, but not before some much needed time at home!
