First Audience!

Yesterday we had our first audience! This tree is in the lobby. There were 400 people there...lots of kids. The other night, we had a bad rehearsal...but the preview was fun and he (Sean) was happy. We got today off because the show went so well. There was a little boy fist pumping during the last song like it was a rock show.

I said my lines loud enough for the back row and I used my dialect which is British (Cockney).

My Grandma is here.

It smells like a dead rat when we go in the basement to get from the rehearsal hall to the theater.




This is our cast getting notes after the preview. Pablo is our stage manager (with the white hair on the right) He makes sure that everything happens when it is supposed to. He runs the show.


This list tells us what scene is coming up. It is taped to the back side of the set walls.


My shoe came off during a dance, but it was o.k..

Happy Thanksgiving!

This post is called "kitten-wait, baby bunny, baby bunny" don't ask me why says Nick

Today was another day off. The last 2 days of Tech were called 10 out of 12s. It started at noon and we ended at midnight! There is a break for dinner. I loved rehearsing the Fezziwig scenes the most. I wear pretty braids as Basil. They are pinned to my bonnet.

We play lots of games in the green room.

The dressing rooms are below the stage, in the basement. The way you get to the stage is called a vom. It is short for vomitorium - like throwing up.

Lots of Pictures Here!

Tech

This is an example of our call sheet. It is how we know when to go to the theater.

We start tech today. that is where you add fog and sound and lights and move the set. We also wear costumes. Check the pictures to see what else we did yesterday. Solo Mios, a news station, we gave my mom a tour of the set.

I miss Val and Chelsea and Joey.

Here is a Slide show

Home away from Homework

I have been finding shapes for my home work in between scenes.

We move to the set tomorrow! I have seen it with my dad and with the kids and Lila. I had another costume fitting and I am going to surprise my dad with the dress for Basil.

I saw a Raisin in the Sun tonight. At first I wanted to leave, but then I liked it.

MY MOM COMES TOMORROW

Week 2

Yesterday was our day off. Me and dad went bowling with Trent (Fred & Mr. Fezziwig). I won and dad won. Trent did not win at all. Not even once.






We do warm ups for our voice. and tongue twisters: Red leather, yellow leather. Unique, New York. Topeka, bodega. I know watermelon, get your watermelon todaaaaaay from Joe at NYU. All I want is a proper cup of coffee, made in a proper copper coffee pot.

We sang for people today at the other theater here.



I played memory word and math games with Nako and Cady and Ami and Allison when I wasn't in scenes.



It smelled like dog food walking home in the very cold.

Here are some more pictures.

First Week of Rehearsal

Hello Everyone!
I miss you all. The flight over here to Louisville was great.

I will tell you all my characters. I play Tim Cratchit, Basil Fezziwig, and Ignorance.
I rehearse Tuesdays-Sundays from 11 am to 6 or 7 pm.




I'm learning carols. I sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas at the end of the show.







I had a costume fitting and tried on 3 different costumes.
The rags for Ignorance's costume are my favorite. I wear a
brace for Tim. My dad wears chains for his costume.










There are 4 other kids in the show. Alex, Claire, Isaac, and Hunter.

I will write more later.
