To everyone who poured your heart into making Kingdom of Cards come alive on May 16th & 17th, thank you. ::tears:: What we created together was so so so much more than a showcase. It was magic, trust, artistry, courage, working together, scheduling, problem solving, glitter, bruises, laughter, and so much love poured into one unforgettable weekend. To our performers: thank you for your bravery, vulnerability, commitment, and the countless hours you spent training and creating. Watching each of you step into your characters and fully embody this world was breathtaking. You made the stage feel alive. You are all so courageous! Yassssss! To our instructors, coaches, our darling host, volunteers, backstage crew, riggers, music helpers, our epic lighting human, cleanup angels, photographers, mat movers, Videographer, costume fixers, prop movers, and every single person who stepped in wherever needed…this production could not have happened without you. Every detail mattered, and your care showed in every moment. To our families, friends, and community members who supported us behind the scenes and from the audience: thank you for believing in what we do and helping create a space where people can grow, perform, and shine. Productions like this are never built by one person. They are built by community and I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such talented, generous, passionate humans….. ….and a huge giant thank you to my mom, Katy, who I couldn’t have pulled through without. My mom is always there, picking up the slack, talking to everyone with the most kind heart. I love my mom, thanks, mom!!! 😭❤️🌷 I’m still soaking in all the beauty from this weekend and feeling deeply grateful for every one of you who helped make Kingdom of Cards possible. ❤️♠️♦️♣️👑 by @thesoftcircus
