First of all, I've been involved in a Drama group with my Homeschool Co-Op (Creative Christian Cooperative). I really enjoy acting (not to mention singing) and the whole aspect of "stage life". It's so much fun to actually become someone else, if only for a short time, and to get to SING about it! Ah, if only life was a musical... We'd all be alot happier.
Anyway, without further adieu, here are some pictures from our productions. (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe not pictured.)
Aladdin Jr:
(I played a Narrator.)
My friends also did "A Night of Shakespeare" which consisted of hilarious Shakespeare(ish) skits. I had to resign from the play because of calendar complications but they did a wonderful job. :)
This past week we finished up our production of "Fiddler on the Roof, Jr" Definitely my favorite play we've done. (Ahem.... I got married. Who wouldn't love that.)
My sisters were singing to me "Dear Yente, see that he's gentle! Remember, you were also a bride... It's not that I'm sentimental..."
"It's just that I'm TERRIFIED!"
I got to SCREAM and beg my father not to make my marry the old butcher...
Hey, it worked. I got the tailor.
...and a baby... :)
Also, I got to attend my first Formal Dance. (I've been taking Ballroom Dancing with my Cooperative as well.) My brother was my escort (a quite handsome one, might I add) and we had alot of fun. A wonderful night with wonderful friends.
Also, our dance class had the Recital in front of all the parents... You can watch the video here.
I am so blessed to have such precious friends and to have this opportunity for a fine arts program.
I love playing the piano at my church, as well as at home. I play every moment I have available. I just love it. I hope one day to learn the violin (at least) or maybe even a wind instrument. I only know that music will be a part of my life forever.
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you have a beautiful day!!
