Monday came with a repair. We haven't even begun rehearsing with the set and already things are breaking. It serves me right. I should have checked the castors before the kids flipped the set. I just didn't take the time. While we were trying to paint the floor it got harder and harder to push… Continue reading Week at the Boyacks – Week 33
Most of this week was the same old thing everyday... school... work... teach lessons... Legally Blonde or Once Upon a Mattress rehearsals...That is until Friday! This week has been a ROYAL week. Remember how I said Hannah was elected as the Freshman Princesses for Snowball? Well, Friday there was a big assembly where she got to walk… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 32
BUSY WEEK! First I mostly finished and delivered my set for Suesical the Musical Jr. to my friend, Robert. He teaches at a charter school in Salem and is directing his 8th students for their semester project. I still have to finish the "nest." At least the back drop, and eggs are good to go. I think… Continue reading Week at the Boyack’s – Week 31
This spring I helped my friend Jeff with a production class at school that produced Aladdin Jr. We are getting better and better at this whole production class thing. Each student was assigned to a production team... set, lights, props, costumes, publicity. This show was successful in getting students involved in the production process from… Continue reading Aladdin Jr!
This year marks the 6th year my youngest daughter has participated in Children's Educational Theatre (CET). CET has been good for her. Although she has danced since she was 3 years old (learning ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical) CET has taught her performance skills like projection and stage presence... stage makeup skills... more dancing skills...… Continue reading Theatre Thursday – A Family Activity
I taught a mask making class for the first time ever at CET (Children's Educational Theatre) this year. I have to admit, I was a little worried about how I would do. The first theater experiences used mask. Masks ave been such a huge part of theater history from the Greeks to Comedia dell'Arte to… Continue reading Theatre Thursday – Mask Making
March brought an unexpected experience that has changed my perspective and given me great cause to think about the blessings we take for granted in a free country full of education and employment opportunities. My friend Jeff decided to tackle a play that invited more of the Latino population of our school to participate. Our… Continue reading Bocòn – A Life Changing Experience
I helped with a production of Band Geeks at the local high school. I actually have been working on a book to teach high school students about the production process. The book covers pre-show jobs and responcibilities, rehearsal responsibilities, performance responsibilities, and post show responsibilities of a production team. It isn't a very good book.… Continue reading Bank Geeks
I was never popular. I was never athletic. I was never confident. When I reach into the shadows of my memories I find a faint memory of first grade. I was the only student who was left handed. My teacher tried hard to get me to hold my crayons with my right hand. She never… Continue reading Bang Bang You’re Dead
Before I begin this blog I must thank the talented and generous John Bruning for taking beautiful pictures I could steal and use in the post. Where would I be without you? I would have a few blurry pictures that would not do this beautiful show justice. That is where I would be! I must… Continue reading White Christmas
