Afterword -- Cast B 2008's Green Room Torch Pass

Hello all!

So this past weekend, I journeyed out to Denver to see Cast B 2008's Rehearsal Show. If you remember, one of the first duties Sofie and I had to do was write a dedication to Cast B in the "Oh the Places You'll Go" book our cast was given in our first Green Room. Well, since I was going to be in Denver, Martin (the new cast's manager) gave me the opportunity to read the dedication to Cast B, which I took him up on. Green Room came, and I read the dedication. I thought that I would post it here as a final sidenote to my Up with People adventure.

Dear Cast B 2008,

You're at the beginning, we're near the end
You're surrounded by strangers, we call that stranger a friend
You're going crazy, did you pack all you need?
Our time to unpack -- how to succeed?
We're two points on a circle, different yet same
And that is what binds us to all those who came
We stood in your place only six months ago
And here you are, ready for your first show
The road lies ahead -- you ready to begin
a journey to help you look 'round and within?
But before we depart, we leave some advice
Words of wisdom in the form of thrice:

Stetch yourself
Unlimit yourself
Enjoy yourself -- GROW!

You are Cast B 2008
Now is YOUR time to celebrate!

With love and support,
Cast A 2008
