Behind the Scenes

All the audience ever sees is the spectacle-- the costumes, the lights, the singing, dancing, and acting.  But you don't get that without the months, weeks, days, and HOURS of time spent together polishing and perfecting.  This is where the heart of drama lies, in the authentic relationships built as you are, ironically, pretending to be someone else.  This cast was called "one of the sweetest casts ever, so encouraging and helpful to one another!" and "Practically perfect!" by their director.  

 

Selfies!

Though not the lead of the play, Delia has always played a leadership role in her casts, especially ones with younger actors.  Nothing could make us prouder than hearing about how she uses her encouraging spirit to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated.

Gettin' their hair done.

Some fun with the Supercalifragalistic blocks.  I guess they spelled something silly, that the audience couldn't see, with these prop blocks every night.

Chimney Sweep huddle.

Feeling dapper in the Jolly Holiday costumes.

And the traditional after-show stage pictures.  We're proud, happy Drama Parents!

Delia loved our post show gift-- a bag of candy with spoons taped all over it.  Get it?  A spoonful of sugar...

The Juniors on cast.

Lots of little fans came to see the play!  Delia enjoyed chatting and taking pics with all her little church buddies afterward.  Jade has always had a special place in Delia's heart.

With some best friends.  Above, Natalie and Laura.  Below, with Bella, who played the evil nanny to hilarious perfection.  She was one of my favorites!

Good pal Nich (Bert), who Delia has now shared numerous shows with!  You may recognize him as Mr. Darcy. He's a big talent!

This trio of BFFs is always up for a goofy pose.  This time they made us moms recreate it.  We nailed it.  Haha!

And a sweet one too.  Love when our kids' friends bring friends in to our life too.  This has become a very dear group-- texting regularly, sharing rides and homes for our kids to hang at, making meals, and even worshipping together!
