[a moment] to be positive

 

[moment 167]

"Positive Post" is a tradition at Epoch Arts. They put out bags with actors' names on them, paper and pens, and audience members and fellow cast members write positive notes to the actors about their performance. 

In years past, I knew the cast well, having been to rehearsals, fed them, and having made their costumes and some of their props. Now that I'm no longer doing that, it felt strange not being able to write messages to each cast member including lines their character said in the play and personal messages about their growth over the course of Mainstage. That, combined with time constraints and a poorly timed hemiplegic migraine led to my decision to make something for the cast instead. 

With supplies we already had on hand, I combined the flowers in the play with the lifesaving tinctures made by one of the characters and made these tiny tincture bottles and put them in their positive post bags. I made a couple larger ones for the directors. According to Onyx, they were all very well received.
