Okay so my shows went up last weekend (the 21st and 22nd) and I was nervous as all get out! The week before the show was disasterous...the kids were forgetting their lines and stepping on everyone else's lines; the little kids had forgotten the dances; people were not at rehearsals; parents were complaining about the lateness of the rehearsals; the headshots weren't done; the programs weren't done - etc. etc. etc. So needless to say I was freaking out, as was my mom. Then the tech rehearsals were full of glitches and craziness...it was a wonder we were even going to be able to put the show up on that Saturday night and Sunday afternoon! And then the Bewitching Hour rehearsal...the last rehearsal where everyone could make it. Oh sheesh...three of the girls were forgetting their part of the show...and boy was I going nutty. And for that tech rehearsal, we were pushed aside so they could do crew to cue for Wizard of oz...so we had to do tech at 3:30 the DAY OF THE SHOW! Talk about hectic and stressful situations!
So then after our tech on saturday we got ready for the show. We got in our wings and awaited the lights to go up. And when they did, everything went smoothly. Bewitching Hour was amazing...each kid in it performed with all they had and I was so proud! And then on Sunday, it went even better! I couldn't be happier (as Glinda would say). It made my heart swell three sizes. :) I love my kids.
And Wizard of Oz also went so well. They did forget one scene (a different scene each day ha) but other than that everything went great!
Now I can't wait until next year when I take on the insurmountable task of becoming the sole director of the production. We will be doing "Beauty and the Beast" and I am thrilled beyond belief to have the full power, and can do things my way and have full say into what actually happens on stage! GO ME! :)
