Play pictures- finally!!

Okay, here are a bunch of pictures from the play Zack, Aleks and I were in. Our performances were October 18th, 19th and 20th. It was bittersweet - it's nice to get back to "normal", but we miss everyone who we'd seen twice (sometimes more) a week for 2 months. Most of the people who were in the play we hadn't met (or just barely met) before the play, but by the time the play was over it felt like we'd known everyone for years!

Zack (in the dark blue) was a guard, and he took his part very seriously! Also shown in the picture are Jared (blue striped shirt - the Prince) and Manny (the Pauper)

Manny, our Pauper. He had the most lines in the play - nearly 200!! He did a GREAT job - especially considering he is only 11, and this is the first play he's been in!

Nate (John Canty - my son!) and I (Gammer Canty) during one of the more "abusive" scenes (I had just finished "hitting" him). Every time I was on stage I was following Nate around like his little dog!

I'm yelling at Nate again - something I did quite often during the play! Jared is helping me with my lines.

My good friend, Lydia. She was part of Royal Court and I was part of Offal Court, so we didn't act together at all. It was very sad! She did a great job! Carey is in the backround.

I like this picture of Zack - not sure what he's doing though!

Practicing the dance. There were 12 dancers who had to dance the Minuet - Zack was one of them. It was his "favorite" part of the play (those of you who know Zack know that I'm being sarcastic!)

The Ruffian fight scene. Ben & Nate choreographed it and it turned out great!

Our Assistant Manager and Stage Directors: Ben, Joy & Emily
They did a great job!

One of the crowd scenes (Aleks is in the dark green shirt with her back to the camera - one of the only pictures w/ her)
