Seussical opens on Friday! Yea! The cast is ready to go. We've had a great tech because the cast was so prepared (despite their constant chatter!).

For Mare and Paint Opinions

I need to decide what colors to paint the tree for Seussical. I need a color for the canopy/leaves, trunk, bucket, ladder, base. Here it is and a picture of the entire set. Colors used so far in the set:
light purple
dark purple
light blue
dark blue
yellow
green
red




Mare-here's the dress I was talking about.

Seussical Photo Shoot!

We did a photo shoot this morning. The costumes are AMAYZING (I think!). Here is a selection from my camera. I used Thing's camera 1/2 the time but don't have them on my computer yet; I'll post some of those later.

Seussical Rehearsals

We are currently working on Seussical. I did it my first year of teaching and LOVED it so decided to do it again-this time we doing bigger and better costumes, makeup, and choreography. The best thing about this round is I have 4 assistant directors/choreographers. I get to sit around and observe a lot. So far I've like most of what they've done! My stress level is WAY lower than it was for Peter Pan. Besides that, the cast is doing a FANTASTIC job. It's going to be one fun show!!

Christmas Break

Keeping with pig tradition, I bought new Piggy slippers right before the break. The kids loved to steal them and put them on-"So soft and fluffy Aunt Mel!"

Katie, Sage, and I also all got floating piggies for the bathtub from Santa-fun!

My face is not happy with me, I've done a number of conceptual makeup designs on my face trying to finalize the Jungle makeup for our upcoming production of Seussical.

In the old days, we would pull an old wheelbarrow around in the field-tons of fun! The snow was too deep so we just went up and down the driveway. Still fun but lacking some of the daring trill of the field.

I arranged some Christmas songs for Mom's set of play bells for our Nativity play.

Peter Pan Photos

Here's some photos from last week's dress rehearsal. Performances went Great 2 of the 3 last weekend; this weekend will be AMAZING all three!! I'll post more pictures from the actual performances when I have time to go through them!
