Drama performance

(Sorry this post is a little late) :(

I cannot believe it is over! Weeks of rehearsing, memorizing, and driving siblings nuts by reciting random lines from the play...  and suddenly, it's done! I wish we could have a whole bunch of performances... go on tour or something! :) I'm not ready to be finished with Run, Robber, Run yet. And of course Knut wants to do Don't Kick the Turkeys again. The performance did go pretty well, though. Several people who had been having trouble with their lines got it put together at the last minute. :) We did have a couple problems with costumes... 'Mr. Alden's' wig was missing for the performance, so Sarah just tucked her ponytail into the collar of her coat and spray painted it grayish. :) Speaking of 'Mr. Alden', 'he' did a great job! Sarah had been doing really well in the rehearsals, but during the real play she was absolutely AMAZING!!! When she got hit in the face with a pie, Kalei and I were almost falling over each other laughing as we were trying to exit. Kalei did manage to look properly shocked and scared while she hit Alden with the pie and ran out. She was actually 'trying' to hit me!!! :O
Casey, or 'Miss Prudhomme', was sooo good, too!

ALDEN: "What... what is THIS??!!"
MISS PRUDHOMME (entering) "Alden, what are you doing? Alden, answer me!!! What is that on your face?"
ALDEN: "Tastes like pie."
MISS PRUDHOMME: "It tastes like pie. Is that all you can say?"
ALDEN: "all I did was walk in... and BANGO! I got hit in the face!"
MISS PRUDHOMME: "Bango??"
ALDEN: "I didn't even get to see who hit me!"
MISS PRUDHOMME: "Mr. Alden, in the entire history of Caldwell, there has NEVER been a head disciplinarian hit in the face with a PIE!!!"

That's my favorite scene in he entire play. :D
Papa videotaped Run, Robber, Run, but the memory card was full before he could do Don't Kick the Turkeys. :( However, we will be getting a DVD of the entire performance. Maybe I can upload from that.
This Friday is the last week of Lyceum!!! For drama, we'll be watching parts of the DVD and having a party in class.
Drama class was sooooo fun this semester!!! Thank you SOOOO much for teaching it, Ms. Jo!!!

We have a lot going on this week!
Tonight Cecily and I have Bright Lights.
Tomorrow... nothing on the calendar; only school! Wow!
Thursday is Geography Night. Our display won't be as wonderful as last year since we've hardly started working on it yet. I don't think that many of us will even be in costume. :( We'll do our best. :)
Friday is the last Lyceum, and Cecily is going to a sleepover.
Saturday is the Bright Lights discipleship tea which we are hosting.

Sunday is the choir concert, with a reception afterwards at the church. It's also Palm Sunday... wow!!!

Holy week will actually be less busy for us! :) We'll dye eggs on Good Friday as usual, and Mom's playing for the Easter Vigil at Zion, and we have school all week, but other than that there isn't much going on! :)
