1-16-16

Irene Ryans volunteering. I got the chance to sit in and watch some incredible professionals comment on the scenes and monologues performed by every single Irene Ryans finalist. It's really hard to put all my feelings into words. But I felt so honored and inspired. And I felt incredibly happy for all these kids! They worked so hard and did so well and they have such an amazing future ahead of them. Impressed doesn't begin to cover it. It was easily the best part of all of festival.

Day 16 (late): I feel...

like it's the end of festival. Tired. Empty. Winding down. A weird sense of relief.
