Final Performances

Tonight marks the start of the five-night marathon finale at www.marisfarmshauntedwoods.com

Tonight, Thursday, we're open from 7-9 p.m. Friday & Saturday the gates are open from 7-11 p.m. and then Sunday and Monday we're open from 7-9 p.m. Whew!

I'm torn between pacing myself and my voice and giving all I've got every night. I would actually have to be conscious about pacing myself or holding myself back. My standard MO is to put it all out there. I get caught up in the present moment and throw myself into it.

The longest I've worked is three nights in a row. I know that keeping my energy up on the third night is challenging. Now I'll be going five and I want the people who attend on Monday to have just as good an experience as the people coming tonight. I cannot even imagine working at a full-time job and then coming and doing this demanding work.

I have a new sense of admiration and appreciation for the casts of long running Broadway theatre shows and other performers who bring loads of energy to the stage night after night.

My plan is to rest, rest, rest between shows. I don't want to miss a moment of the fun. I'm taking my good camera with me tonight, so watch for more pictures.
