Tonight is the last night for Taming of the Shrew:

Here’s the review, BTW:

Taming of the Shrew Review

I am so proud of my girls. They have done such an amazing job. Everyone who sees the play just gushes over how incredible they were and how much fun the play, yes, the Shakespeare play was.

Tonight I get to watch the play with my very supportive husband and 11 yo DS who have held down the fort with 2 yo Isabelle and baby Isaiah while the rest of us have been at theatre. It’s a bit like Christmas letdown when a play is over. We went to a cast party last night after the performance and there was just a tinge of farewell party. This has been a great cast and crew and our family has grown together through working, encouraging each other, laughing together as we share stories, AND working really hard to keep the house together in light of all the rehearsals and performances and set work and auditions for the next play, Pirates of Penzance (another post, another time).

I am so thankful that we have something we’re all involved with together instead of drop off a kid here, drop off a kid there. Even Ben, who has no desire to be onstage, enjoys the backstage aspect of theatre. He turns 12 this month and has been waiting with anticipation to be old enough to learn light and sound board. This is so fun! Now…if we could just get my DH onstage!

Lucy & Ethel!

All of these are mine except the 2 girls in hats
