The play was yesterday and went immeasurably better than rehearsal. Paula (who was in charge of the whole thing) said to me after it was over, "You were so much more relaxed!!! Was it the mic that helped?" Oddly enough, it was. All during rehearsal, all I heard was "We can't hear you!" Must be my soft little voice. HA! Anyway. Since I was in all five scenes, they let me wear the "Britney Spears mic" - and knowing I didn't have to worry about volume was HUGE.
Thought you might like to see the day!
This is me mentally rehearsing lines - yes DURING church.
The theme of the play was what are you doing with your gift? I was the person who moved among all the scenes, seeing what people had decided to do with their gifts. Stop one: my brother's house to see my mysteriously unsupervised nephews. They were playing with their toys - but they'd not opened their gift because it looked like too much work.
After I left their house, I went on to scene two...the return counter at Meijer, apparently. (That's where the bags were from.) There I ran into Lisa and Ann, who were returning their gifts because they just didn't work for them.
From there, I stopped by work. I'm a supervisor. (Pausing here for your laughter...)
My two smarty-pants employees were hiding their gifts under the desk so they didn't get in the way of their own agendas. (These two guys were stinking HILARIOUS!!! Hard to keep a straight face!)
And finally - to round out the day - a football party!!!
In between much football jargon (which I did not understand, but look at me fitting in!!!) we managed to discover that these guys put their gifts in the closet and they'd get them out on a need-to-use basis.
The concluding scene...check out the mic! :) I went home to journal before bed. I do not always look so pained when I journal.
Nor do I always look so loopy. Seriously Bekah!?!?!?!?!?
The point of the journaling (which I did without a pen because they forgot to leave me one! LOL!!) was to tie the previous scenes together. Loved it.
It wasn't as scary as I thought it might be. And the mic stayed on until right after this scene, when it fell off in my lap. WOOPS!

You look great! And what fun. I've always wanted to do something like that but have never had the courage.
Thanks Stephanie! Let me tell you - I do NOT have the courage for this stuff. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) my dear friend Puala, who organizes these things, doesn't really take no for an answer. And I'm glad. She pushes me to do things I don't think I can do...and then it becomes easier along the way!
and her name is PAULA. Not Puala. Good grief.
That's great to hear, Bekah!!! By what the photos show, as well as everything you illustrated, you did wonderfully!!! :) Loved the facial expressions at the end! :) I'm glad to hear that you did so well!! :) I hope you had an AMAZING Christmas!! GB!!
Josiah - Aren't you so glad my wackiness never changes? :)
Thanks for sharing this! It looks like it was great fun.
