There's No Place Like Home

I realize that it's been a good long time since I've posted, but the past few weeks I've hardly been at home, due to the fact that the past three nights I've been performing in "The Wizard of Oz". Oh, it was fun! So gloriously, unbelievably fun! Even though my role was small--talking tree, flying monkey, Munchkin and Ozian--it was amazing to part of such a big production with my school!

Of course I will miss staying after school for hectic rehearsals, I will miss the entire cast and crew, they are all so wonderful! Of course we will see each other at school still, but it won't be the same. Yesterday between performances everyone was crying, our last show was soon to begin, and after that it would all be over.

The play was amazing, and very fun. We had a lively cast, and when it was all over we headed over to the cast party. That lasted until about one o'clock this morning, we all had fun dancing and playing improv games.

Later today I'm headed back to the school to help strike--cleanup--what's left of the sets and props. I'm hoping that most of the cast will be there, as I did not get everyone's signatures yet.

The first picture is of Kevin, our Scarecrow, the second is me wearing my Munchkin dress and Tree hat. Next is Ryan, who played Zeke, I think, and Chris, who was in the Lollipop Guild and was also Niko or Miko (something like that!), the captain of the Flying Monkeys (thus the brown face). Doesn't Ryan look pretty in make up?

So now all is done, and I am sad. I have more pictures coming soon, and I will post them separately when I get them up!
