A Magnificent Evening

The kids never performed better. They picked up nuances as it went along that we had never even practiced. It was far more than remembering their lines - they really acted. I sat in the middle of the front row with mouth open, just stunned at the sight on stage. I never dreamed it would come together this well. I was SO proud of them all.

Don't really have a good picture of me with the cast - will post that when someone emails me a copy.


Note to self: In the future, if we use a live cat, make sure that the "handler" does not attach a bow with a rubber band and then feed it lots of cat treats. Teach cast what to do when cat projectile throws up on the stage. We had foreseen several possible difficulties - that was not one of them. :-)

I'm so glad it went so well -- well, except for the cat. :-)

What a neat ministry/opportunity you have with the play. You can have such a different impact on the students than in the classroom. Glad to hear it went well, and regarding the cat--what else would expect from a cat?

it was a GREAT play, mrs. b! and they did just fine in spite of the cat...just kept right on going. the best thing was that they all seemed to have fun & not be stressed. i loved jonathan's part...kudos to you for getting him involved and giving him a chance to shine. =)
