Willy Wonka

This weekend was my home-school group’s performance of Willy Wonka. It was a really, really fun play!!! I was Grandma Josephina, and my brothers were stage crew. My sister wasn’t in it because she has been sick, but she had a lot of fun watching it! As always, the play was a lot of work but a lot of fun. My mom took some pictures, but because we were moving so much on stage it was hard to get clear ones. She was still able to take some pretty good ones, though!

Anne of Green Gables

Today I promised my awesome friend Marianne I would blog, so I am! Last month, I was in a play called Anne of Green Gables. It was the second play I have had a part in with more then a few speaking lines (I had abt. 30 lines for this play) and it was the FIRST play I have ever been in that I had a real solo. In Oliver Twist and Pirates of Penzance I had small singing solos, but in this play I had to sing two pages of song all by my self! I was soooooooo nervous before hand, but I think I did a pretty good job! This year for the play, we did performances a little differently for two reasons. 1, we had three shows, a Thursday and Friday night show, and a Saturday morning show. We also had understudy parts that we could play on Saturday if we wanted to. My main part was Mrs. Allan the preachers wife, and my understudy part was Aunt Josephine Berry, who is Diana's aunt. My sister got a pretty big part as the little girl Josie Pie, and her understudy part was the main role Anne, but she decided she didn't want to play that part. The play turned out really really awesome, and I was really happy to participate in it this year. My brothers were stage crew and they also did a great job at that. Way to go everyone!!!

Fall Musical

Every year our local Home-School community puts on a Fall Musical, which is simply a play with lots of singing that we do in the fall. (hence the name:) This year is my third year and I love it! The first year I did it, the play was Seven Brides For Seven Brothers It was super fun, even though I was just a town girl and a School girl. I had two lines and was and in the chorus. Last year the play was Pirates of Penzance, which is a very, very funny play that I highly recommend, the same with Brides For Seven Brothers. In Pirates of Penzance, My character actually had a name, (that I can't seem to remember) and I had two lines and a tiny solo. This year the play is Oliver! It is a really funny play. This year I am in almost all the choruses and I am a street vendor with a duet (I think, it might be a solo) I have to sing the words "Who will Buy" four different times and then hold it out for a long, long time. The play is in a few weeks, and I'm exited (and nervous:) If you live near us, let me know if you want to come and I'll give you more information about it.


Here's me with some of my Friends in Seven Brides for seven Brothers.
