The Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe

Jennifer was excited to be cast in her latest play-the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  She was the character of Mrs. McReady and Queen Susan. 

The play went great! All of the kids and adults did a great job. I got to see it 5 times out of the 6 performances and never got tired of it.  I always love to watch Jennifer do what she loves!! I even got to be a backstage Mom for the first time at Elm Street and it was eyeopening to see what all goes on behind the scenes.  Those kids not only learn their lines and parts and cues, but get themselves on stage when they should be, turn lights on and off, do set changes, costume changes, and help each other with "quick" costume changes.  Jennifer, Ally, and I were wiping all of Austin's makeup off with wipes while he changed shirts and costume pieces.  It amazes me that even the little kids know what to do and when to do it. 

Here are some pictures of some of the people who came out to see her. It always pleases her to see her "fans" after each show.

 They always circle up before each show and go over notes and warm up. I love that they always say a prayer before each performance.
