I can’t believe June is almost over. Today is already the last Thursday of the month! That means we’re half way through 2015! How is that possible? Anyway, since it’s the last Thursday, it’s time for the Thankful Thursday party!

I have a lot to be thankful for this month and I think I can attribute most of it to The Music Man. If you haven’t heard, I’m in a community theatre production of The Music Man and it’s taking over my summer. In a good way.

I’ve made some pretty great friends already. Just being out and about with other fun people is such a welcomed change. Since I work from home, there are a lot of days when I actually don’t see anybody except my dog and my husband when he finally gets home at night. I’m learning how to socialize again.

I’ve certainly gained some confidence. I had didn’t think for a second that they would want me in this show. Much less, give me the part I wanted. I haven’t sung in a chorus since high school and hadn’t been in a musical since middle school. I get more and more confident with every rehearsal as I’m assigned extra lines and singing parts and when the director tells me she “loved my facial expression just now.” Y’all, I’m eating this up.

I am certainly in my element. I’ve always loved musical theatre and I’ve always wanted to get involved. I’ve just always had insecurities holding me back. If you know me personally, this is probably a surprise because I am very introverted and can be shy and reserved, but I love exploring a character and pretending to be someone else for a short while. This is part of why I love Halloween so much.

So this month, I am thankful for Worthington Community Theatre’s production of The Music Man.
