Leaving PCT.

This is a stack of all the hands from the follies cast and all the PCT people that came to see it. I loved closing weekend it all went so well and I'm so happy. So many old friends came and I met so many new one's in the show. You can see me in my half green right there. Thank You Follies cast and Crew for everything. And everyone at PCT. I LOVE YOU YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!


Jamey, the director of all the shows me and my friends are in, is leaving PCT, so all of the people who are usually in his shows are leaving too. One of the parents of a child that was cut from a show got mad a circulated a email with wild rumors about him on it. So he hired a lawyer but left PCT because of pressure from the Board and parents. He owns his own theater whitch he will take over full time.


I feel sad leaving PCT. But I know that I'll have all the great memories forever. These last 4 years, and the last year especially, have shaped who I am now so much. I wonder what I would be like if I had never come to PCT? Who would I be? How would I be different. I wouldn't have the influence on me that theater has provided all these years. I don't like to think about it. I wouldn't have so many friends.


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20

I like this poem because I think it wraps up what I just said pretty well. Robert Frost is my favorite poet and this is one of those that I REALLY like. It's about "What If". What if I had never come to PCT. What if I had never done a Jamey show. What if I had backed out when they combined one of the shows. WHAT IF. But I think I took the right road.

I will always be a PCTian. I'm a PCTian at heart and this last year has made it so true. No other group is as tight as the Jamey kids at PCT. The people there have helped and changed me so much. It's such a blessing to have a group of people that love you no matter what, and you can return the favor.


PCTNATION FOREVER!


I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the thing I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

And because I knew you...

Because I knew you...

Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
