BWW Blog: Kathryn Mowat Murphy - After Show Blues

I have a cat, and his name is Jazz. If I don't pay any attention to Jazz, he begins to meow. This is a simple animalistic act to show he needs my attention. We, being performers, are very similar. If we don't get any attention, we begin to meow. Not out loud, but deep in our soul. We start to pine and, bit by bit, lose our light. We eventually lie down and put our paws over our eyes and fret.
