The Making of a Musical: The Final Installment...

.....coming soon!



Ha ;)


So many sources from which to gather pictures and clips.  By the end of the week, I'll have it up, hopefully!  Stay tuned.  In the mean time--think lovely, wonderful, thoughts :)

The Making of a Musical: Part 3

Just a quick post this time!  We are like, 2 weeks out from show time and to say everyone involved in the show is scurrying about oh so busily to get everything finished and put together is an understatement.  If you pay a visit to the VPAC (Versailles Performing Arts Center) you'd find yourself a true mad house.  The students are rehearsing, the set crew is bringing everything to the stage, the costume moms are sewing, fitting, and ironing, the light crew is learning their cues, stage crew is delegating responsibilities to make sure scene transitions happen smoothly, "publicity" people are selling tickets like hot cakes, and the directors are making a list and checking it twice to make sure nothing has been forgotten.  Oh, and today we got a little visit from ZFX!!!  They are the company running the flying for the show.  The kids are getting their first taste of flight as we speak.  Exciting, exciting, exciting!!!

Here are a few action shots from recent rehearsals to wet your whistle until I have a chance to post a "flying" update soon!

Enjoy!!

Celebrating the soon arrival of a special little boy...

       Our family is preparing to welcome another baby in the very near future.  My cousin, Bert, and his wife Jamie, are preparing to welcome their first baby together in May.  So, Bert's sisters and mom threw a great shower for Jamie and baby boy Roeth.  I love getting together with family, if I haven't already expressed that enough in the past, so any excuse to do so is good enough for me and celebrating the impending arrival of a new family member is a pretty awesome reason!  

Cherie, Lynnette, Deana, and Cheryl did a great job on the shower and a good time was had by all.  I cannot wait to meet the newest little addition and I know Bert and Jamie are going to be wonderful parents--such a lucky little boy to have them for a mom and dad!
