Day 71- 8/18

This morning, the senior troupers and I worked to make each first year trouper superlatives (essentially paper plate awards, for all you Y-co folk). They each got one serious award and one silly one, highlighting the greatest parts of having them on tour. These were given out at Final Council just before lunch. Final Council is the most sad and overwhelming part of smirkus tour to be sure, but it is also an important closure for us. Each of the senior troupers got to speak a little bit, and I think I was able to successfully articulate what it has meant to me to be a part of such an amazing troupe. Then, off to do two more shows!! They went well and I took a bunch of photos of backstage for you to enjoy: Gunna, our backstage intern in her natural habitat, and some performers hanging out during the show.
