In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night"
From Les Miserables, "Stars"
We are very excited for the Sabrina's Encore Productions Summer Series show, Les Miserables coming to our local stage in July. This week the cast had the opportunity to preview a few of their Act 1 songs at a carnival. The kids were fantastic and there is still a month remaining before the actual production.
The work they accomplish during the remaining month will be a testament to the value of practice, commitment, order and focus. While they sounded wonderful, this was a vocal review, rather than the full production. The latter will require much more of each of them.
This week, my mother mentioned a former professor of hers who had told students that setting a goal they could achieve was simply not good enough. If we think about this, once we can execute the basics well, if we continue to learn and grow and push ourselves exceptionally hard we can achieve something far beyond what we believed was possible. And then, “Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of.” Marcus Zusak
This cast is capable of producing an amazing show. They are phenomenally talented and with another month to go, they will achieve far beyond what they imagine. It's unlikely a more talented group of seniors has gathered together on stage. This is their moment.
We are each given these remarkable moments, some more legendary than others, but all are opportunities to push ourselves to achieve far more than we believed metaphysically possible. It is up to us to ... Shoot for the stars!
