I'm back!

And I am SO glad I am. It was a very long show. But I did get to watch one of them! It was awesome. I'm glad I got to do that. I needed a break. After the show we had pictures. Pictures are probably the worst part of any CYT show. First of all, they take them right after the most tiring shows of the run (schooldays) so everyone is about ready to pass out. And then they take FOREVER trying to arrange everyone. And they take several pictures of different groups, and all in all, it takes about 2 hours at most. But I didn't have such a terrible time actually. I hung out with who I like to call "the unstoppable trio". They are three crew boys that hang out together ALL the time. I never see one with out the others. And if I do, the others come sooner or later. They are just a crack up. I love to laugh at them and laugh with them. They recently made me a part of their little group. But I don't hang out with them all the time though. I just come in every once in a while. Its really fun. We have a good time. So while everyone was taking pictures, we were up in the balcony play a card game called "Hi jack" and having a jolly good time! Yay for jolliness
amongst tiredness!! :D

Thats them. Joey, then Nick, and Sam is the red head. I'm sad that Nick isn't smiling, but other then that it's a pretty good picture.:D

So yup. that was my day. I am enjoying the nice weather and am very glad that we have a day off tomorrow. Yippy! I think I will go find a book to read now. :)

I shouldn't be bloging right now....

It's about 45 min before I need to get out the door for the play. I don't want to go. I'm still in my P.Js and my mom hasn't go up to drive me yet. I haven't made my self a lunch, I haven't done my hair, yesterday I fell down a case of very steep stairs on my rump. So now my back is hurting and my rump hurts even more. All I want to do right now is type. Kind of silly, huh? I need to stop being such a rebellious teen and start getting ready. *sigh* I guess I'll blog later today. when I get home. bye. *sulks off*

I asked for it....

I can't say I didn't. I was fully aware that I was going to be starting dress rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast RIGHT after Murder closed. It's not that I'm not enjoying my self. I am having a blast! But I haven't gotten enough sleep in a really long time. But I am really having a good time. My family has done so much to make everything work out so I can do these two plays. I am overwhelmingly thankful. But I can't say I don't miss those prayer times I used to have at night were I would journal and/or read and, in general, talk to god. I have been getting home at around 10:30 at night and actually getting in to bed at around 11:15. And then I have SO much to think about but I am so dead with exhaustion that I can't process it and journal. It's getting really annoying. I still talk to god right before I drift off to sleep, but Its not a very deep talk. Oh well. I guess I'll have to make up for it in the mornings.

Anyway. Dress rehearsal week was very rough and hard. I found out that the moms I work with on props are new, so they don't know very much at all. But the thing is that, because they are new and they don't know very much, they rely on me for a lot of things. I am also working with two other ten year olds that have never been on props before either. So I kind of have to be in charge. (And at this point, Cc runs away screaming.) I am really really bad at being a leader and being bossy and that kind of stuff. I am SO soft and I have a really hard time yelling at anyone. Not like I really need to yell at anyone, but you get the point. I'm afraid that if I am too firm, people will think of me as bossy and then something will happen. I don't know. I just really hate having to be in charge. But I guess I need to learn how. 'cause that skill will come in handy some day. Like when I become a mom. :)
We opened on Friday. It was awesome. Everything went very smoothly and it was just wonderful. We were all a bit nervous, but it was ok. I was mostly just really excited. So yeah! It was great and nothing went wrong as far as I know. Me and my older sister went to the opening night party at D'lish Hamburgers after the show. We got our self's a milk shake and sat with some of the coolest theater people I know and talked. So it was really fun.
On Saturday we had two shows. Need I say more? The first show was a little strange. Beast completely missed his que and so we skipped a bunch of dialogue and a song. (How Long Must This Go On) ????????? I guess he was goofing off back stage. Yicks. By the end of the first show, I was pretty much dead. Karen said I looked dead. And I felt like it too. But I had a few energy drinks and it was all good. :D The show went pretty well. nothing went wrong. Thank god. we were filming too.
So there you have it. that was my week. I had sunday and today off so I've had a bit of a break. tomorrow morning, we are doing schooldays. the call time is 8:00 AM so I better get to bed. I'll up date you later on this week.
Good night!

This is the end of Miss Maple!

I am in a total state of shock right now. Its over. The show is OVER! I can't believe it. Four months have gone by so fast. I don't know what to think. Actually, thats a lie. I do know what to think. I am TERRIBLY HEART BROKEN!! I will never see these wonderful kids that I love again! I have had such a wonderful time with them all. I am SO glad I was able to be a part of this. I got to know so many amazing people and really bonded with a lot of them.

So, Thank you everyone, for making this experience so wonderful for me. I have had so much fun and I will remember this my whole life. I have really enjoyed all the joy and laughter we shared together. This show was positively amazing. THANK YOU!

I took a bunch of pictures and I need to do SOMETHING with them. So I will just put them up here. Enjoy!

Ok, so on closing, I did an intervew like thing on all the cast. I asked them all if they were going to be sad when the show was over. And this is what they said! the first person I interviewed was Sam.

Cool isn't it? I apologize for my awful job at being a camera man. I'll have to work on it. :D
I didn't even get half of the cast in that one. But I wont bore you to death with the other ones I took.

This is Maxx and Mara. In the play they are sibblings. They arent in real life. Haha! That would be really funny though! :)

This is Maxx, Mara, And Hannah. Isn't that the best picture EVER?! I love you guys!

Maxx, Mara, and Morgen. Hey look! they all start with M!

This is the Beautiful Sam. She's just plain wonderful.



This is Lucy the amazing. She's Mara's sister.


Mara and Jolie. Jolie is also Mara's sister. Can you tell? heehee.


Props rock!


That is my sister Dana doing Collins makeup. Ok, so I was wrong. THIS is the best picture ever.


Hey! what was THAT look for?!?!



Oh, the life of an actor.




Isn't she just GORGEOUS?!


My dad took a photo shoot of me. Thats a really bad picture. *sigh* I forgot my mascara. heehee. :D


I was trying to be in character. It didn't work. :D

So thats most of them. Hope you enjoyed!

So you want to know something crazy? On Monday I start dress rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast. One show ends, another begins. :D I am pretty excited. YAY FOR CRAZY THEATER PEOPLE!!!!!!
Bye for now, Cc

Happy Birthday Karen

This is what I WANTED to get you, but when we went to Children's Corner they didn't have it. I hope you like what we did get you though! I'll give you a rain check on this one. :D
Happy Birthday!

Dress rehearsal week!

This is what I look like when I come home from rehearsal. I should have taken a picture of me when I had my old lady make up on! I took it off before I took this. It rocked. I had the best makeup job there! But anyway. Thats my hair. It also rocks. See the wonderful grayness in it? heehee. I am having so much fun. My costume is AMAZING. I love it to bits. I will have to post a pic of it some time soon. We open next week! WOOHOO! I am so exited and sad at the same time. I really really don't want it to end. I will probably never see these people that I have become friends with again. It really sucks! maybe I will get everyones phone number and email so I can keep in touch. But it's just not the same. And plus, I am really bad at talking on the phone. ARRG! I am going to be so crushed when this is over. I have one whole week and then it is over. *sigh*
Anyway! *suddenly quoteing the show* Enough gloom and doom. Let's think happy thoughts! :D (thats not the end of the line by the way. COME AND SEE IT! :P)
My Aunt and Uncle are coming in to town today. they live all the way in CA so it is a big deal when they take the time to come. We are going out to dinner tonight with them at an Italian restaurant. Fun stuff!
Ok I better go help get ready.

Over and out, Cc

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you! Your the best.

Love, Cc
