Opening Night for It's A Wonderful Life

I wish I had taken some photos of all the 12 different hair styles we tried out for this play. The victory rolls were my favorite. The setting of the play is between 1933 and 1947. It was interesting to study what things were like back then and the rations on clothing which effected hair and make up styles. The style which the director choose was the same way I wore it int the last show I did. I think I may not look too good with out bangs so the other styles I guess didn't read well from the audience. So I look like Shirley Temple. On Sat. after a tech and dress rehearsal I was considering how to get out of this. It seemed like the was no hope at all for the production. I thought maybe the theater will burn down. Each play I have done, always has glitches and I always wonder- how we will pull it off? But this one was my most fear inducing yet. I have not even told people to come see it as I was afraid to waste their time and money. My dear buddy Hilary Joy is in the production with me and we started some heavy praying at the beginning of the week. Hilary is so fun to be with and she makes me smile to just think of her. The show has a beautiful message about the importance of each persons life and the ripple effect they have on each other. Every single soul is precious to God and the things we don don't effect our worth. I actually was crying on stage last night because the beauty of that message was really loud to me:) I know a HUGE reason it even happened was because of the prayers. Sure we had hiccups- but we are starting to gel more as a team and help each other out more:) One down 12 more to go!
