And on to number 2...

Tonight we closed, "...Music" and I have to say, I was a little teary eyed.  It didn't happen though until the middle of act 2 as the nuns (me) were singing the wedding music.  I know that in the beginning I griped and complained about having to learn Latin but I have to say, it had become very comforting.  Tomorrow I go full speed into my second show, "Sweeney Todd".  We are doing a "rough through" of the entire show.  And I do mean rough.  The lyrics are challenging and the music is very difficult but it's Stephen Sondheim so I wouldn't expect anything less.  

I so enjoyed a few of the kids in the production and will miss their sweet and genuine personalities.  I shall also miss our "Maria" b/c she really is a delightful and charming person.  Well I'm getting mushy not to mention sleepy so I'll end this for now.  I'll be sure to post more photos from "...Music" once I receive them from castmates.  Thanks for checking the blog!

Happy Opening! (Sound of Music)

Well after a few days of rehearsal (literally) we opened our first show of the season, The Sound of Music. on Saturday night July 5th.  We had our season opening party last night (Sunday) and despite my doubts I had a blast.  I also got to meet two of the other casts that are here which was helpful considering I'm going to be working with some of them soon.  Myself and the other nuns got dolled up and danced the night away until about 1:30 a.m.  I haven't danced like that in a while.  Even with my one good leg I was still able to shake a tail feather.  Tomorrow I begin rehearsals for my next show, Sweeney Todd, so I will be doing double duty for the next week (Sound... closes next Sunday) not to mention I open the cabaret on Tuesday night (with 3 performances this week alone).  Yes, you can take pity on me for I am tired but loving every minute of it.  I hope you are all well and finding ways to express your talents that so often you forget you have due to family duties and church callings.  I miss you all and can't wait to see you again!
