It's a Wrap

We've successfully wrapped another production. What will we do with our free time? Oh I know...the holidays are here! I've done a lot of shopping already. And then in January we are back to auditions again. Here are a couple of pics from tonights performance. I hope I will have a lot more to share soon.

The entire cast.

Yep, that's Jilly in "HER SCENE". She's a natural performer. But you all knew that didn't you?

Opening Night

Opening night for The Hare Raising Saga of Hidden Valley went relatively smooth. I was very excited for little Jillian's debut and she did so well. She didn't show any signs of stage fright whatsoever. Maddy, Gabby and AJ all played their parts so well and I know they will do even better in the rest of the performances.

Here is Jillian and some of the other kids (off to the side) at dress rehearsal last night.

Finding Normal

When something has encompassed a large portion of your life for months at a time it's hard to find normal again. This week has been all about finding normal. "Totally Rad" closed on Sunday night after a really great run. I believe over 700 people came to see the performances collectively, by far our largest audience count.

I learned a lot during my time in this cast. I met some really amazing teenagers that I am glad to know now. There are some great kids in this town! Tuesday night we attended an even called 'Drawn into the Arts.' It was a great event where highschoolers could showcase their talents in the areas of music, drama, poetry and fine arts. I was very impressed by them.

So now that my time is more open and we aren't jetting off to rehearsals every night, I am back to figuring out what normal was before. Games with the kids, walks, visiting with friends and of course schooling as usual. It's always hard to leave a cast when the play closes. In truth, they become a little like family. A wacky, unique, bizarre sort of family.

Who We Are

Lisa- The Blogger

This is me. I like to think I am complex and multi-faceted but I think much of the time I am a silly, zany, free-spirited person who really enjoys life. I like to make people happy, I like to be happy. I am a sanguine through and through. I love crafting, Pinterest, gathering ideas, computer stuff, watching movies, sleepovers and hugging on my offspring. I don't like internet haters who assume to 'know' me just by what they read here. There is a reason this is called 'Pieces' Of Us. It's just a small peek in the window. You may think you know, but you have no idea.
Mike- The Sportsman

Mike is more than just a sportsman but he does like to shoot a deer now and then. In his other spare moments which are few and far between he is taking college courses to finish his degree or tending to his pack as Cubmaster. He loves to spend time with the kids and they think he is pretty great even if he is a goofball who loves to embarrass them.
Madeline- The Free Spirited Bohemian One

This kid could be happy with just some books, a drawing pad and a pencil. She has an aptitude for art and has really excelled at drawing over the past year. She is patient and kind but has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Maddy is dependable, if you want something done, she's your girl and she does it with a cheerful spirit.
Gabriella- The Creative Ray of Light

Gabby has sparkle, she has pizzazz, she has talent. She is the kid you never have to tell to practice the piano instead you tell her to take a break. She loves to chat with her friends on the computer (what teen doesn't?) and write stories with her twin sister. She's a practical joker and has a terrific sense of humor. Did I mention she is also a talented actress as well?
AJ- The Deep Thinker

This boy is going places! AJ is always thinking. He is a true philosopher pondering the whys of everything but he is also an inventor/engineer also determining the hows. He spends hours building and taking things apart. We worry that he will one day blow up the house but for now he is pretty darn useful at optimizing our computers and rewiring things that break around here.
Genevieve Audrey- The Spunky One

Spunky doesn't even begin to describe it. She is a social butterfly and she loves to sit and chat as long as her victim will listen. Ginny is a tiny little thing but her spirit is huge and she's smart to boot. She is proving to be an excellent big sister and is teaching Jilly the ropes.
Caleb Allen- The Littlest Man

He doesn't like it when you run your fingers through his hair so we do it all the more. Caleb is just so cute and snuggly. He is always full of enthusiasm whether it be positive or negative. He either really loves something or he doesn't like it at all. We love him regardless.
Jillian Clementine- The Boss

She may be small but she makes up for it big time. Jillian likes to let people know who is in charge and we often have to take her down a peg... or five. She says funny things so often that she has her own blog Jillyish. She loves to use huge words like intrusive and incredible or any other adjective that shouldn't come out of a three year old. She will also tell you that she is too shy to say Hi but don't believe it because she is pure drama.
Jess..ica- She hiccups

She may not be blood but we claim her as one of us. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without her around. She makes us laugh and she can sing like a hamster. Everyone needs a friend with a hamster voice. Now she'll probably ask me to take this down but I'm not gonna. Because we love her.
