Pictures from Reed's play

Tonight was opening night for My Mother's Doll, which is an original script written by the theater director's son-in-law. It went really well. Spenser is at a Boy Scout campout, freezing I am sure. It is cold here. Sydney and Macy watched a little Gilligan's Island before bed and were thrilled that season 2 is in color and has the Professor and Mary Ann added to the song, LOL. (Sydney's the one who told the kids that The Wizard of Oz must have been made thousands of years ago, before God invented color. LOL)

Going to a play

Posted in Family Theatre

Tonight we went to see the Taffetas which is a 50's musical review. Macy's Halloween costume is a poodle skirt cause she wanted to be a Taffeta LOL. So Sydney wept when she realized she didn't have one, and this is what I came up with. Reed wore Spenser's shirt and some rolled up jeans.

The Taffetas

My Girls

The Taffetas in their evening gowns, plus the waitresses for the show, plus other dressed up kids

When we got to the play and sat down, Macy said "Am I in this play?" Apparently she was ok with being in it (at the 11th hour) she just needed to know. LOL~!

Stressful!

Posted in Family Theatre

OK so I am directing my first play at Family Theatre. (I have done church plays but that's it.) And this one is a class, not a mainstage production.

We are doing 4 American Girl plays: Felicity, Kirsten, Samantha and Molly. (They are short, so we are dong all 4 together.) Today we cast them, and it was so stressful. I know there were some disappointed girls, but I did the best I could. Everyone got a part, but not everyone got the part they wanted, I feel sure. Blech, I don't like that part. Other than that, I think it is going to be so much fun.

In other news, I am wearing perfume and it is giving me a headache. I think I'll go change my shirt, LOL.

The World of Carl Sandburg

Posted in Family Theatre

Tonight was opening night for The World of Carl Sandburg. (My husband is in it.) It includes poetry, prose and songs from the writings of Sandburg. It was really good-- educational and entertaining. (I was surprised-- I expected a snorefest to be honest

)

The best part was, my husband was phenomenal. And yes, I am biased, but I heard everyone saying the same thing. I was so proud.

(l to r) Jason hubba hubba, Nathaniel, Jenny, Allison, and David is seated in front. Lisa (not pictured) played guitar and sang witht them.

Stuart Little pics

Posted in Family Theatre

Here are some Stuart Little pictures. Reed's favorite part was when she (as a dog) got to chase Spenser all over the stage and around the audience LOL.
