After the curtain falls and there’s a strike of the set, so many actors undergo this kind of post show depression. It is a sharp, ubrupt hollowness that follows the end of a production.
After putting all of your creative energy into a project, Sacrificing time and energy, putting aside things that should’ve been done while you were in rehearsals, and along the way building a family, one day, it’s just…over.
This is how I’m trying to figure out how to plan for the grief.
