I'm beginning to think this is a cliche now.
This is the second time since coming to VCU that a show has been greatly affected by sickness. That is a problem. These shows get a very limited run. To loose two shows out of a four or a five show run is HUGE. Thats such a letdown to the other cast members who have worked so hard on their role. Granted in the real world you would have understudies, but this is not the real world. This is guerilla, academic theater. You take care of your self, but you also have to take care of your cast and crew. I would rather go on if I was sick and put on a show of theater than sit at home miserable. Drink some tea, get some sleep, take care of yourself and get on stage.
Hell, if worst comes to worst, you send somebody else out onstage with a script. You get it done.
The show must go on.
No matter what.
