Last week

We had a busy week last week. My daughter is in drama and last week was what they call tech week. The kids in drama have been practicing every week and last week being that it was tech week they had to practice everyday after school, so it has been busy. The play opened last night and being that it was opening night they were to be there at 6 because the teacher figured they were going to be nervous. It was so nice that my husband got off work at a decent hour and we got to go see the play together! The play is called "Murder In The Knife Room" and the cast has some really funny names. There's Mysterious Host, Wealthy Dowager, Respected General, Southern Belle, Decrepit Invalid, Sketchy Foreigner, Brainless Model( The gal that played her played her well!), Bearded Scholar, Tramp, Pompous Millionaire, Reckless Cowboy, Boy Band Reject, Inspector/Faking, Plastic Politician, Washed-up Actress, Santa, Serial Killer, Spooky Pirate, Dirty Hippie, Dolphins Fan, Stand-up Comic, Intimidating Mobster. So all these people are in the knife room of Mysterious Host's Mansion and each one is telling a little about themselves. The Mysterious Host goes to open this chest the lights go out and the host is murdered. Of course each one of them has a motive of which now they tell another part of the story in which my daughter comes in to the picture. She plays three short parts of which the people are re-enacting there story. She plays Idea number 3 which Pompous Millonaire is explaining how he became a millionaire by steeling someone elses idea. Than she plays Kevin who is one of the back street boys, which Boy Band Reject is re-enacting why he is a Reject.
Than she plays Paw, Which where Reckless Cowboy comes in and tells his story. She plays Paw and her of spring (or I should say his off spring) Are Reckless, Foolish, Irresponsible and Negligent!! The play was really cute and all the actors did really great! It was good to go see one of my children in a play it has been a while, my oldest son was in drama also and my daughter only had one play last year and it was at the end of the school year. This was the first of five this year so it will be a busy year for sure. The next play is in December they always do a Christmas play and this year it is "Babes In Toyland". January's play is "John Brown's Body", March/April is "Cats" I am looking forward to this one! The last play is "King Midas and The Touch of Gold". The only thing about going to these plays is my mom won't be there to see them, she loved going to see my oldest son and it is sad she won't be able to see her grand daughter. I hope that there is a play that my oldest son can go see his sister in he has to work and won't be able to see this one, she goes back tonight and the last show is on Sunday the 19th.

My youngest son this week had a school dance that he went to on Wednesday after school. He said it was awesome oh and a girl ask him to dance, oh boy!!

sounds like a cute play. Glad it went well. I miss the high school productions that I was in. Cute about the girl asking him to the dance.
