Music Man

My play has finally started preforming!! Our opening night was last Saturday and it was tons of fun. I was a bit worried that i would forget something, because i had only gone through it ONCE! yikes. I missed the tech-day (which in a play is a HUGE thing) because of choir tour. speaking of choir tour that will be my next post. Anywho, I didn't get nervous at all. I only got a couple butterflies right before i entered the stage for the first time.

I had a little bit of a shock when i got to the theatre and hour before the play started. come to find out, my "boyfriend" in the play, Matt, sprained his ankle the night before!! He was goofing off in the parking lot and slipped on ice. Luckily, both me and Matt are double casted (in other words there is another Zaneeta and another Tommy who perform every other night). So Aaron, the other Tommy, was with me that night. I know it's kind of mean to say, but i was kind of glad. Matt is good and all, but Aaron is so much more animated and fun to play off of. He kind of encourages me to be more outgoing and have more expression.

The only problem that happended was when Tommy and i are supposed to get really close to kissing, as in our faces are about an inch away) and my dad Mayor shinn is supposed to enter and Tommy runs off. So, apparently Mayor Shinn forgot, so we were standing there on stage, an inch apart, for literally a minute or two. It took forever. We started laughing (more like giggling) until the Mayor FINALLY came in and rescued me from my near fatality!! Thank goodness Aaron happened to be my Rolf from "sound of music" last year, so i knew him pretty well. I had to kiss him in S.O.M., so just standing really close to him wasn't as bad.

Other than that the show went great and I had a blast. I can't wait for Friday when my family will be able to come and see it.

I'll write as soon as i can to update you all on my choir tour to St. George. It will probably be really long, so i might do it in two posts. Just thought i would give you something to look forward to. Bye ps- if you didn't figure it out, this is Amber jo writing.
