The End

Last night was the closing show for "Beauty and the Beast" - and it was awesome! I had the best time doing this. The director asked me to come back for auditions for "Scrooge" in August. That show runs the first two weekends in December. I am not really sure what to do with myself not having to go to the theater tonight! ...I lied. I have Spring Break from Midland right now, so no class tonight...therefore I am at the farm convalescing. :)

I already miss my new theater buddies! :(

WIPE OUT!!!

I wish I could have seen it! I mean, I was there. It happened to me. I did it. I just wish I could have seen it from the audience's point of view. I wiped out on stage.
I was being chased in the castle and slipped on my own skirts. Fell straight to my knees in my swishy skirts, slid up against the castle wall and then crawled out on all fours with a "torch" in one hand. It was awesome!! I'm told it looked like I did it on purpose (in fact, the director commented at our "cast party" tonight that she wished she'd thought of doing that in the first place). "Lumiere" (a.k.a. Becca) was scared to death it was her fault (our "Lumiere" is played by an amazingly talented young lady dancer) - that she had stepped on my skirts or tripped me. Nope. It was all me and my skirts. My feet came out from under me and my knees took their place. I had too much skirt under me to stand up, so I crawled out instead - doing my funny little squeally-scream thing (that I do every night) all the way. It was hilarious!! Painfully funny, quite literally.
So, I am sitting here with my leg propped up on the desk, a bag of frozen mixed veggies on my knee (the worse of the two anyway - my other knee will just have to deal). My body says, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Why are you still awake!?" But, my brain is wired on sugar from soda and cake at the cast party and the excitement of becoming one of only 2 (that I know of) walking wounded from the show (the other's a knee injury as well, believe it or not).
Only one show left. I will miss it when it's gone! :-)

SOLD OUT!

The rest of the show is officially sold out! I hope everyone who wanted to see it has already been or already has their tickets! The director says people can still come and hope to get seats if any become available due to no-shows or cancellations. That's pretty awesome for such a small, out-of-the-way theater!

It's been so fun doing this show. Thank you to everyone who's come out to see it...or is coming! :-)
