The Crucible

 Hello friends! This is just a quick blog to show off the amazing work my students at Jersey Village High School in Houston did at the one act play competition. We did scenes from The Crucible. 

The costumes came from our stock, we made them years ago when I last directed this show. We also rented some from Performing Arts Supply, and borrowed a few things from a competing school, Cy-Ranch. 

 Getting ready for final rehearsal...

The last run before going to the competition.

 The running crew meeting before going on. A play is far more than actors on a stage.

Congratulations to both Cy-Ranch & Cy-Falls for advancing to the next level! As usual, don't forget to leave me a comment here so I know you stopped by! It makes my day!

A great start to a new year!

The show opened and had a good 1st week run. Now we start our next & last run, Thurs-Sat. I have high expectations that I don't expect to fail me. My cast is amazing, & versatile. They are efficient and caring. I look forward to three more performances of Les Miserables! 

My little guy began his 2nd year of pre-school. He loves it & was thrilled to see familiar faces that first day. He goes to work with me at the high school, where he hangs in my office with his toys or naps on the couch until a teenager in an early childhood professions class comes to get him & walks him to school (on the H. S. campus). While there he gets a full day of classes lasting 10 minutes each, including some recess & lunch w/ a nap. What a difference one year has made! He went from caterpillar to butterfly. We are looking forward to an exciting new school year!
