You have to forgive my tardy entry...The show is over and time gets so filled with details of production that I have not been able to write about the event.
The production was wonderful. The cast and crew did a great job. Such beautiful and touching moments and really, mature acting for high school actors.
Opening night, our Helen was sick! I must commend this 8 year old actress. She had several bouts of sickness before, during and after the show – but still made it on stage and through the breakfast scene – (with scrambled eggs being thrusted at her). The fellow actors did some improv when she was “busy” back stage and even “went with the flow” when a scene needed to cut a little short. I think the remarkable noticing is that when a cast is rehearsed and rehearsed well these “live theatre” events are minor bumps and the show goes on. I do not believe in chaos and that a bad dress rehearsal will produce a good production. Hard work does that – preparation does that - along with talent and sometimes a little luck!
