More pics from Honk! We opened last Friday to an audience of about 50 people. Luckily, the advertising has finally come out. Hopefully we will be able to get more families to come see the show. It's really fun to see the kids' reactions afterwards when they get to come meet the cast. So far, there have been quite a few children who wanted hugs from the "Mama Duck" and I am happy to oblige. One little girl's mom has helped out with show a couple of times, and she comes and gives me a hug every time. Kelsey had one boy come up to him and tell him he had the funniest part in the whole show. Awesome!!! Well Here are the pics...


Let's Play With the Fishes


What a cute class picture.


The ducklings can be so mean to their "brother"...


...and the cat just wants to eat him.

We open in 3 days, hooray! I can hardly wait. We have been having a ton of fun with this show, and I think people are really gonna love it! We did a runthrough last night, and I had a friend take some pictures. So here are some of them. I will post more later!


The opening number!


"The Joy of Motherhood"


Ugly hatching out of his egg!


"Look at Him!"


"Warts and All"

This is all the blogsite would let me put on here for now, so I'll write another post tomorrow and add more pictures then.

We have been rehearsing like no tomorrow. The studio we're in doesn't have very good air conditioning, and with our local weather we all go home dripping with sweat. But I feel like we are accomplishing a lot, and getting closer to the final product. We also got our tracks for us to practice with at home. Hallelujah.

Woo Hoo! We took pictures for our posters!
The room we were in was icky hot, so we had to stand in front of a fan between pictures to keep from getting shiny. I also managed to get someone to take a few pics with my camera. I also took a few pictures of Darrin, who plays Ugly. I wish I would have gotten some pictures with the kids who will also be on the poster, but I should be able to post some later. (I will have to get permission from their parents first too.) Just keep an eye out for other pics as well!
I can hardly wait until we move to the big stage next week. I am hoping it will be cooler as well. I am having a hard time staying cool enough to give any energy towards my performance. I also am having a hard time with the super long rehearsals. We are there for 3-4 hours with no breaks, and sometimes even longer. The key is taking snacks, and lots of ice water.
