The Play is Done

Well the cast pulled the show totally out of their butts but it was really good. Up til 10 minutes before the show I really had my doubts. I think my favorite moment was when I was trying to stage the curtain call with 10 minutes to the house opening and all the cast decide to have a prayer. If you know me this isn't exactly my scene. However, maybe there was divine intervention. I am so proud of these kids. This is by far the best show I have done at NMS. I will do this one again in 5 years or so.

It is so interesting to me to see these kids especially girls that are so devote. Then I remember how when I was their age I went to church every Sunday and youth group on Wednesdays, but I was never as into it as they appear to be. It's not that I don't believe in God. You can't look at nature or Johnny Depp and not believe in some higher power. I just can't get behind the whole organized religion thing. God and I are cool.

Anyway back to the play. Now that it is really done I can start to think about auditioning for a play with my bud Holly. I think that will be fun. I need to find the right show for us. I think it will be good for me. The one thing I have never doubted is my acting ability. I wonder if I am a good mother, daughter, teacher, friend, wife all the time, but I know I can kick ass on stage. It has been a long time, and I know I need to do a show.

God loves you and your play.

I can't wait until we audition! I've been thinking about it every day since we talked about it...wonder which part I could see myself? Annoying secretary type? Lady with short-person syndrome? Friendly girl? Serial killa? The possibilities are endless....
