Oh my god, I'm a senior

Hello, gentle audience of the Web.
Do you ever have one of those moments when you realize suddenly your life is going to completely change? You have a pretty comfortable life, a life that, while certainly not perfect, is just fine, but you grow up and have to step outside of it into a new life.
I'm in the ensemble of my college's upcoming production of Godspell. It's been going really well and I'm totally excited for the show. However, I was standing on our mainstage at rehearsal tonight singing the part of the Finale when the ensemble sings "Long live God" over and over, and it hit me that this is not only my last musical at my college, but the last time I'll get to perform on the big mainstage. The mainstage has really been my home for 4 years. It's been the setting for 8 of my 9 shows at college, and it's going to be hard leaving it. It's like I've made my safe little nest, and now it's time to spread my wings and fly off (wow cliche!), and I'm not going to lie, it's pretty terrifying. I'm sure that I'm finally ready. I'm just really scared to leave my friends and my family, as I'll probably have to to pursue my career, and I've always known that. Now that it's here, however, it's a little different. I know if I don't pursue it, I'll regret it down the road forever, but that doesn't make it any easier. It'll require a leap of faith, and it's a leap I hope that I can make.
With that missive, gentle audience, I bid you adieu.

You should post the dates and times of your show. (That way I don't have to keep asking you when it opens!)
