Once Again...

Once again I have managed to trap myself in the soul-consuming world of theater... And I'm loving it.

Every summer my town's community theater does a fairytale, this year The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and I am Cornelia, the eldest. I dance the night away with my eleven sisters and a lot of princes, I have a repressive father who never lets me leave the house, and I end up finding the man of my dreams and getting engaged to be married. All in a day's work.

There are so many precious little kids in this play. Young princes and princesses and fairy waitresses (I don't get it either) and they are all so stinking adorable. Especially when they dance. Today at rehearsal we finished learning one of our dances, a Viennese Waltz. The tiny ones look so cute spinning around the stage. No one in the audience will even realize that the older performers actually know the complete dance and actually look legit because they'll be too busy fawning over the little ones. Lovely.

This has definitely been an adventure so far because well... I don't dance. Seriously, my only experience is random dance parties with my friends, prom, and what we did for Camelot. This is WAY harder. I have been practicing though! Let's hope I don't fall at any of the performances.

So besides play practice today I went to church, helped with the children's Bible Hour, and had a cookout at my house with my family beside the pool! It was great!

So, good day? Most definitely better than the last!

(P.S. Here's the link the my ePortfolio that I said I would post. Even though I still have no followers... Awkward. Maybe I would if I actually blogged a little more...)
