Well, it had come. After so many months of rehearsal, “Witches, Heroes, Lovers and Elves” was about to open. This was a monumental occasion for many of the actors and crew who had never been in a play, or had speaking parts before. What better way to prepare them for their debut than to have them join in a rousing version of “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” And it worked. They were charged up and ready to go, unafraid of forgetting their lines and comfortable, or at least seemingly so, that there would be PEOPLE watching them perform. I knew, even though • they didn’t, that they needed an audience. Now was the time that their experimentation with being genuine actors would begin and hopefully grow through the nine show run. But of course, there is always chaos on opening night.
