Last night was the closing cast party for “Comic Potential” and I must say, it was one of my favorite cast parties I’ve attended. We went to Brian’s house and partied until the early hours of the morning. I didn’t even leave until 3:30. If any of you are wondering how much I had to drink or mean by “partying”, it was one beer- my usual limit, especially when I’m driving.
I really enjoyed forming friendships with this cast. The relationships are what make a show fun for me and this one was delightful in that respect. You never know who is going to come into your life and what they will bring with them. For example, one of the reviewers of “Comic Potential” said, “Witters and Strong, the leads of the show, are surprisingly good. Neither of their characters is the focus of the show when they are introduced. Witter’s character, Jacie, laughs at inappropriate times during filming, and everyone assumes she is broken. I didn’t pick her out as a lead until she started talking late in first scene. Strong’s character doesn’t start to shine until he begins explaining physical comedy to Jacie in the same scene. These two actors successfully take the characters from flat stereotypes to “people” we can root for.” Often times when someone comes into your life, you don’t realize until later what they will mean to you. And sometimes, when you think they might mean a great deal, reality falls far short of expectations. There are no answers or solutions, we just have to let things evolve as they will and trust that God has it all in hand, which of course He does. I am so glad He is guiding me and those who come into my life and those who come into yours.
