Amazing Experience!

My Wife pulled off a huge success today! She took a group of untested teens and younger to a theatre contest and they brought down the house!

They had three judges there, they were famous for theatre success and had Broadway directing experience. One judge had taken his show to this same contest and wound up winning the international competition.

After performing your show then the judges come down while the cast sits on the front row and they give you show notes. My wife was called "An excellent director", "Congratulations on a wonderful and fun show", and had practically everything good to say to our cast.

Let me set this scene a little, the show that went on before ours and after ours didn't have such kind remarks.

Our show was interrupted several times by thundering applause and laughter! This show that My Wife, GhoulGal, and Teehee put together was simply amazing! When you consider that we rehearsed in the lobby, didn't have a full cast and barely had enough to put on the show we could while doubling up some roles, rehearsed with lights for the very first time yesterday on the competition stage and that was only the second time of rehearsing on stage period, the limited experience at least half of the kids had while for a few it was their very first experience at all, and this was done during summer camp season! The full cast wasn't there for rehearsal four or five of the six weeks!

When you consider all of that AND add that our teens were competing against regular season adult shows they simply rocked this show! No other way to say it! They did their director's proud!

I'm very proud of my wife for taking the time to bring this show to the stage, it'll be an experience that will not soon be forgotten by me or the cast! Sunday we find out what if anything we've won. I feel great about our chances of bringing home some excellent awards for our troupe!

First Friday Cabaret

Yes this is one of my infrequent blog posts while my project is underway for the next three months.
I have to blog special occasions and this one is special!

My Baby and Piano Genius rocked cabaret last night! To a standing room only audience too! They played for nearly a full hour and had massive ovations after every song and music number! I was so proud of both of them and especially the song that Thing 2 joined them on, Louisana. Her violin cried while My Honey provided the soulful voice and Piano Genius provided the core of the sad song.

The story is about a flood in Louisiana in 1927 and six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline. Such a deep and soulful song that really brought the house down!

The night was amazing! They did so well!

The Blog Posts Will Be Sporadic

Over the next few months the blog will be very sporadic. I'm working on something in the mornings now and that'll take away from my blogging for now. Over the past month they've been pretty hit and miss anyway and that's one of the reasons.

So for now something else demands my morning attention and I might go a week or more without blogging. I'll return to my regular blogging schedule eventually though!

Monday Monday

Here we go again folks! A short work week for the wonderful Fourth of July! The day in which our Founding Fathers decided to break away from England and venture forth upon a new path of governing!

Come on Wednesday! Looking forward to a day off in the middle of the week! Yeah it'll be hot at work today, I'll have a lot to do and I'll sweat so much that I'll feel grimy and dirty for days but I'll make it through, come home after and enjoy my Honey this evening!

That's enough to get me through today!

Last night My Honey saved the Theatre from burning down! She was there when things went Bang! It seemed the AC unit had blown up so she went around and checked the breakers and then called the power company. Good thing! With the heat the way it is I wouldn't be surprised if the power grid downtown just went up in smoke!

I'll have to talk to her today about what happened as I was sound asleep when she got home from rehearsal.

It's Running!

The pool is running away! The filter works fine, the new pump is a work horse, and now I'm filling up to the right amount! I'll go chemical shopping today and then it's all done! The triple digit heat will mean nothing anymore!

The girls and My Honey are happy and that's what is important:) There is now a way to cool off in the hot sun and feel refreshed! That's the goal!
