Peter Catches his Breath



This post is from Peter Shanahan. Peter is a second-year cast member of Open Dream Ensemble and graduated from UNCSA with a degree in Flute Performance.

We're getting one of our first moments of breath right now. So far, the rehearsal process has been a whirlwind! I can't even believe how much the group has done in a week. I'm really inspired to be working with these folks; a few of us are outside now, while the directors rehearse a scene with the actors playing Wilbur, Katherine, and Orville Wright. It's beautiful sitting out here with friends old and new. One of us, James, has a guitar out and he's giving us a sort of soundtrack on a gorgeous day. Mollye and James are on the curb, Rose and Kjerstin are are sitting on the grass, and Dia and I are on
a bench. The optimism is so high! Six months from now, we'll have the most amazing stories about Season Five. We're going to go to places big and small, beautiful in every way. The goodness of this work drives us all and makes the intense work so easy.
