This week my student's play opened!!!! I find theater is an addiction of mine, no matter what facet of theater I am involved in there is a feeling that comes that is addicting. Growing up I got addicted to the rush of adrenaline that pumps into your system when the lights hit you and you become/portray another person while acting onstage in a play.

| HS performance of "Damn Yankees" |
In college I discovered the addicting feeling of watching something you work on come to play by being a technician and working on the set.
 |
| Working as a technician in college for a university production. |
 |
| Working as a sound designer for student production in college. |
Now I have discovered a new addiction! The feeling of watching your students work hard in rehearsing and then succeeding in performance! Watching them feel that feeling I discovered growing up from performing is a whole new rush of awesome feelings! Their eyes get the glow and their countenance beams with their new found confidence...they have a look.... that you can tell they are thinking that they can now accomplish anything! Now THAT is an addicting feeling!
