“But I shall never, not ever, not as long as I live—forget my magical visit to Wonderland.”
Three days ago, I would’ve said I was looking forward to the play ending more than anything. Now, I wish I could go back and fall down the rabbit hole again and again.
I can’t even find the words to describe how devastated I am that this is over. Now that it’s over, just one more musical is left with the incredible seniors. They have genuinely improved my high school experience more than I think they might understand. There’s nothing I would rather do right now than go back to a week ago.
Thank you seniors for one more musical. Alex, I’m sure that you already know how much I appreciate you for everything that you do and have done. This play was incredibly difficult and I couldn’t imagine doing as much as you did. I’m so incredibly proud of you, and I hope that you’re proud of yourself. Thank you so much for the past few years. You truly have changed my life. I’m so glad that we have one more musical together. Henry, I’m really glad that we became closer this year. Thank you for sitting by me during rehearsals because you made them so much more fun than they would have been. Thank you for playing Block Blast with me and for that one joke. I do have to admit that I am going to miss you next year. I’m so thankful for the past year and a half, and I’m so thankful for one more musical. Alex Fletcher, you’re genuinely one of the sweetest people I know. You always stop and say hi to me no matter what you’re doing, and I appreciate that more than anything. I’m going to miss you next year, more than you know, and I’m excited for just one last musical. Keegan, I’m really glad I got to know you this year, and I’m thankful for one more. You make me laugh pretty much every single time I talk to you, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you for making the past week so incredible, and I hope the last musical is even better. Jake, it was fun getting to know you this year too. I loved making so many jokes during the past week, and it was fun hanging out with you all. Thank you for always making me laugh and for being so fun to talk to. Even though you broke so many glass (and plastic) things, I’m so glad you did the play, and I’m glad there’s still the musical. Toby, thank you for always saying hi to me every time you passed me. You’re one of the nicest people I know, and I’m so glad we have one more musical.
While the seniors are almost gone, I still have one more year left with some of the others. Audrey, you’re an incredible crew head. I don’t know what we’d do without you, and it would be more of a mess than it already was. Cam, you’ve been one of the nicest people in my life for the past few years. You were an incredible king (even though it was last minute), and you’re an incredible person. It’s been so nice getting to know you, and I’m glad we have another year.
The rest of the people I’m doing theater with, I have for the rest of high school. After high school, who knows what will happen? Aiden, even though you left the crew to be a part of the cast, I’m still glad you’re a part of theater. Thank you for listening to me talk for hours even if you don’t want to, and thank you for all of the high fives. I’m glad we have a few more years. Aubrey, I’m so glad you did theater last year, and I’m so glad you continued this year. I’m glad we became friends again, and I hope you continue theater even after Alex leaves. I loved hanging out with you the past few weeks, and I’m looking forward to the next few years. Micah, you are one of the most incredible actors I know. I’m so glad you chose to do theater because you’re genuinely just incredible. Thank you for always hugging me. You’re so sweet and hilarious, and I’m glad we have the rest of high school. Abby, even though we were already close last year, I’m glad you did theater too because I think it brought us closer. You’re so genuinely funny, and I’m so thankful for the past few years.
I love theater. It’s one of my favorite parts of high school, and it brought me closer to so many people. I’m going to miss the seniors who are leaving this year, but I’m looking forward to the next few years. I’ll never forget you Wonderland.
