Much Ado Opening Night!

Tonight was our first preformance of Much Ado About Nothing and we rocked it!! I was soooo nervous before we began (and still a bit shaky now) but everyone did an excellent job! The audience really seemed to enjoy it and that is what truly matters because this show is for them not us :) 

The Tempest

Look what I found! Embarrassing pictures from my first ever play The Tempest! Yup I played a fat drunk dude. Even though I had no clue what I was saying or doing it was still a fun experience and helped open the gates of the acting world for me :)

Peter Pan Stories

We saw Peter and the Starcatcher yesterday at the Hale Center Theatre. I love this play! Its so fun and different from most other plays. If you have the chance I highly recommend going to see it.


(this is the version we just saw.)


Later in the day Chloe and I watched Finding Neverland. This is the first time I'd seen it and it was soooo cute and sad. Its the story of J.M. Barrie (who wrote Peter Pan). I also recommend watching this. Its on Netflix for all you Netflix people.

Opening Night!

Tonight was opening night for Willy Wonka! It was stressful as can be. But still good. Everyone did great, we had a few mess ups but thats expected. Everyone looked great in costume, and helped the audience have a magical time.

It was so nice hearing laughter from the audience. Being in it you forget that what you are saying is actually funny, but the audiences reaction is so nice to have and really makes it worth it.

It seems like so much work for only 7 performances, and yet I am so glad we aren't doing more :)

Wonka Stress

Tonight at our Wonka play practice I felt like I was going to explode! Everything was so chaotic. It was also super overwhelming because of the fact that Monday we start tech rehearsal!

After we had run the whole play and practice was over I stayed late to organize everything in a quiet calm way (It was so nice just to be alone in that theater).



Everything felt so much nicer after. I'm just glad I could get it done tonight.
I even learned how to make paper hats ;)

Just thought I would post some pictures of inspiration and to get everyone all hyped up while we wait ;)

Willy Wonka. Let it Begin!

Today was the first rehearsal of Willy Wonka. I'm the co-director for this play at the Clearfield community arts center. Just have to say I love our cast! Its so great to see (even from the first rehearsal) how well its come together.

Here is a sneak peak at the costume design for Wonka. I have lovely costume drawing skills don't I.
