Lighting Design Project I

We had a production meeting today for Other People's Money, a play being produced by Studio Players in Lexington. I feel like such a professional. This is actually going to be my first full design that's completely mine. I've designed lights previously at Jenny Wiley Theatre for Children's Productions and a talent show. My first design that I'm really proud of came this past summer when I was given the opportunity to design for a cabaret-style show called, "Hooray for Hollywood: An Evening of Song in Film". The number that brought down the house was the most fun to light... a song from the musical, "CHICAGO" ... the Cell Block Tango. JWT even put it as a publicity shot on their website. But for the cabaret, I used someone else's light plot and worked with that. For Studio Players... it's all mine!

I'm really excited, but my only question is how do I express that without sounding like I'm bragging or too proud? I don't think anyone else will be as excited as me, and a lot of people don't quite "get it" I guess. Maybe someone will and will pat me on the back a bit.
