Of course, for me, doing what I love usually means not being able to do something else I love. I've been doing theater stuff all week, but it's been almost a week since I've blogged, and longer since I've written or painted. But that's life I suppose; you can't do it all.
This weekend my drama class performed our Country Western Show, which was a variety show; in other words, it had a lot of singing and dancing, poem reciting, and skit written by some of my classmates and me. At the very beginning, however, we performed a sort of teaser thing, singing and dancing to a medley of numbers from Seussical. Later in the show, my sisters and I sang Independence by The Band Perry. I can post a picture of the whole class on stage (you can't see our faces very well), if it's okay with you guys and your parents. I don't want to do anything to make you or them uncomfortable. I also have some videos from it, but I don't know if my mom will let me post them. But anyway; the whole thing was so much fun and I'm sad that it's over and drama class is over.
I also had a meeting yesterday for my apprenticeship with the theater. This week I'm working (mostly with costumes) for The Miracle Worker, in which my littlest sister is playing a blind girl. Today I helped in the women's dressing room with costumes, and then headed downstairs to help my friend Jonathan make some breakfast food props. Then my friend Samantha came down (she is also in The Miracle Worker) and we three apprentices had a heck of a good time trying to paint the cardboard slices of ham the right color. It was some really odd looking ham, but at least the blue foam pieces of toast turned out nice after a coat of paint. Ah, the theater. Good times.
By the way, in case you were wondering why I wasn't at church, it's because my dad only lets my mom, sisters, and me go to church every other Sunday. He's not a Christian, so please pray for him. He really is a most wonderful dad, and it would make me so happy if he would accept Jesus.
Well, I'm off to play the piano, or perhaps watch some Narnia. Yeah, that's always great. I might just do that.
Let there be Narnia!
Wow, that's so cool that you have a local theater program, and it sounds like you and your sisters are pretty talented. Our town is so tiny that our auditorium in just a stage in the gym, and the chairs are just a bunch of metal fold out ones.
ReplyDeleteI shall pray for your dad and his relationship with Christ.
And it wouldn't be a problem if you posted photos of your lovely performace, haha it would actually have to be more ok with your family than us you know. We'd just have to guess at which on is you lol. And I can't wait for your next art projects.
Yes I'm very thankful for my community's wonderful theater program; the artistic director has ack-chellay worked in Broadway before!
ReplyDeleteWell, my mom had already given me the go ahead, but she said I should check with y'all first, so, yeah. I'll get a picture on here as soon as I can. :)
Sweet I'd love to see a pic from your performance. :) That's sweet about the whole Broadway thing too. I don't know if I've already mentioned this or not, but I may be going to a over night, week long, filming camp at a local-ish college and I would get to be using professional equiptment and editing software. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't think you've mentioned that because I would've remembered. SWEETNESS! When is it?
ReplyDeleteIt's in the summer.
ReplyDeleteHaha, theater sounds awesome! I'll bet that you and your sisters did The Band Perry justice. (: I completely agree with Kellie on the picture, too; can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll be praying for your dad's salvation! It's now on my list of things to pray for every day. I have Matthew 7:7-8 written out right above everything on the list. It's such an encouraging verse!
AHHH, Kellie, that's awesome! I'm almost panting at the mere mention of professional editing software, haha. Hope you'll be able to go to that, it sounds like a wonderful opportunity!
