The Wizard of Oz

I was cast as Aunt Em in the ETC production of The Wizard of Oz. It's very exciting. I love working with this group. Everyone has so much fun and they put on a pretty high level production.

As I said in a previous post, it's too bad Jeanne could not participate this year. She chooses gymnastics over almost any other activity. ETC puts their shows up in about 3 weeks so there are LOTS of rehearsals in those three weeks. For the month of January we will be very busy scurrying between gymnastics and rehearsals.

OKLAHOMA

We had our last run through tonight. Tomorrow and Thursday are dress rehearsals and Friday night we open. It's very exciting to see the whole thing come together. I was very lucky to have a great production crew. I didn't need to worry about the set, costumes, publicity, props, nothing. I just focused on the action on stage. I hope you locals can come to see it.

OKLAHOMA tech week

So, we are into tech week for OKLAHOMA! We spent 8 hours at the Village Players theater today running a cue-to-cue rehearsal. For those of you who don't know theater, that means we got all the lighting and the scene changes set. That way we can run through the show the rest of the week without stopping...we hope. It was a good rehearsal. Even though it was long the crew got a chance to run the scene changes multiple times and the lighting designer was able to aim and focus lights so things should look pretty good on stage.

Hope you can come to see the show!!!

Gymnastics again

J had another meet today. She improved her scores from last week. It's so much fun to watch her. It can be nerve wracking though. I know she wants to do well and when she fell off the beam it was tough to watch. She said the beam gave her the heebie jeebies because it was higher off the floor than the one at her gym.

It's nice that she is passionate about something. I just don't know why it has to be a sport that requires her to fly through the air.

J at an OKLAHOMA rehearsal!!!

Wizard of Oz

So, this afternoon I have a call back to the Educational Theater Collaborative's production of the Wizard of Oz. This is big because they have a TON of people audition. I have done two previous shows with this group and it's awesome. I am not getting my hopes up because they have a million talented people audition. I will be happy to be the third woman from the right again.

I'm just sad because J can't do the show because of her gymnastics schedule. We were both in Pollyanna last year.

OKLAHOMA opens a week from Friday. It seems to be coming together. I am so used to shows being a mess at this stage of the game that I am getting nervous that things are going so well.

Happy day after the election to you!

J qualified for sectionals on Saturday. We need to keep our fingers crossed as the sectionals are on the second weekend of OKLAHOMA!. So if the level 5s aren't scheduled for the morning or early afternoon we will not be able to go and that means she won't have an opportunity to qualify for states. Of course, there is another whole season that starts in January. Her coach is doing the fall season because all the level 5s and 6s are new to their level so she wanted them to get in some meet practice.

My friend, Phoebe, got me to do Facebook. I'm not very good at navigating it so if you are on Facebook, let me know.

Don't forget to vote!!!!

In New Hampshire you can register right at the polls today! Take your license and something (like a utility bill) to show your residence!

If you are in line when the polls close, you still have the right to vote!!!

Happy All Saints' Day

Hey,
J has her first gymnastics meet of the year this afternoon. If she qualifies at this meet she can move on to sectionals. She has been doing great at the new gym, Lakes Region Gymnastics Academy.
