Firsts!

Today was our first night of December panto! We are starting our three show run of Snow White. It was also the first time Jonathan came to see me in a show. He actually really enjoyed it. I'm so very glad! And then Mandy and her mommy got me my first ever flower bouquet. That girl is so so good to me.

Closing Night but Not Really

Tonight was the last night for a while of Panto. We had two shows today. It was certainly incredibly busy, but we made so many little kids happy. Seeing them get excited for Snow White and the Prince made my day. And I loved all the parents complimenting Joshy and me on our Christmas Carol bit. It was so fun. And I'm so glad Emily came to visit! It warms my heart that she always plans her visits so that she can see my shows. She's seen more shows than my own family has, and I will forever be grateful to her as a friend for supporting me.

Also, between shows, the apartment was full! Not only were we all present, but Torreke, Moises, and Norman were all here. And Norman brought some homemade pupusas, so I was literally living. It felt just like home.

Tech 2

We had another tech day today and oh my goodness things are going so well. The fixes are honestly very nit-picky things, which is good! I'm glad we are at this point. The changes feel smooth. We've gotten into a good rhythm for cues. The show is going faster. And I don't need to cough every five seconds. Hallelu! I'm pumped for a fun show.

Panto 2

We began rehearsals today! We read through our script of Snow White. It's such a silly show. It will be tons of fun. And I'm really honored to be a part of Ira's potentially last panto at McDaniel. This is gonna be an awesome cast and an awesome show and an awesome time.

We're Doing Snow White

And I'm in it! I was cast as Doc, one of the dwarves. This cast is crazy awesome. It's a lot of lovely familiar faces. As well as, I believe, two new ones. I look forward to this adventure, and to working with Ira again. And OF COURSE to making all the little kiddies smile :) I'm so so so excited for that part.
