Transition V 2.0

Transition V 2.0

Inspired by the song Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along (with lyrics infused into the poem)

Dedicated to my colleeagues from New London Barn Playhouse, Summer 2007

Our Time comes on on my ipod and immediately I go into reverie mode

It took me a long timeto move on from stuff related to NLBP

I assure you all I am better now

the reason why I got so anxious

was due mostly to fear

but now I know that was all for nothing

and that we will all be friends through out the years

"Years from now,We'll remember and we'll come back,

By the rooftop and hang a plaque:This is where we began,Being what we can."

When you think about it the Barn was a stepping stone for all of usf

or me i'm nothing but a technician

but Annie Get Your Gun was the best experience ever for me though. The comraderie between us all truly meant a lot.

"Feel the flow,Hear what's happening:

We're what's happening!

Long ago

All we had was that funny feeling,

Saying someday we'd send 'em reeling,

Now it looks like we can! …"

Now that we've gone our seperate paths

since the Barn and started our own careers

it seems this song really speaks the truth

Through contact has been spotty between some of us

since we left New London

I have no doubt that you've all been doing amazing things

and though distance between us may be spread out

that doesn't mean friendships are divided

as I so foolishly used to fear.



"It's our heads on the block,

Give us room and start the clock.

Our dreams coming true,

Me and you, pal,

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you!

Me and you! "



Just to note you guys are all amazingand continue to be admirable inspirations to me.






This poem was originally written in September 2007 after I finished my internship at the New London Barn Playhouse. It has recently been revised due to two important things I've realized since leaving the Barn. That no one has forgotten me and that our memories from that summer are non-withstanding. To all my felllow NLBP interns I love you all!
