And so it ends...

Fiddler on the Roof is over! We had three amazing performances and the last one on Saturday night was almost a full house!! :) We also had some amazing people taking pictures of the play AND backstage... So I'll share some with you that I'm in (plus some favorites of mine) and if you'd like to see some more head over to the JOY Drama Blog and check them out!

BACK STAGE

ONSTAGE

Be expecting the posting to get back to normal soon...! :) Meanwhile, let me know what you think about the set, costumes, etc.!

Tonight's the night.

Fiddler on the Roof opens tonight. I'm ecstatic! Thank you God for everything you've done to make this production work out.

heaven. I'm in heaven.

Okay remember when I asked you to guess where I got to go (and got only TWO guesses...come on guys!) . Well... here are some pictures from our fun expedition!! My fashion design class got to go to the University of North Texas and tour their clothing collection (which begins in the 1800's)!!! There were rows, and rows, and ROWS of clothes! I was seriously drooling (well, not really)...

There were hats from all SORTS of time periods (above I believe was the 20's and 30's!)...

And SHOES...*sigh*

I absolutely LOVE this green dress (from probably the 50's?)

And there were all sorts of originals (Christian Dior, above), plus Chanel, Valentino, etc!

There were some CRAZY furs, like the jaguar coat above and there was an actual MONKEY fur coat!! It was SO cool!!! :)

above: 1800's wedding dress (I'm guessing around 1840-50s?)

above: HAND BEADED PURSE!!! I can't imagine.

Anyways. More pictures to come. Let me know which your favorites were! :)

TECH WEEK...

Enough said.

of operas and parking garages...

This is the story of how my crazy friend, unbeknownst to her, auditioned for an opera in a parking garage.

Well, the other day some friends and I got to do something really exciting! (you can take a guess HERE) And afterwards we got to go see a play. Now I must tell you that my friends and I enjoy singing...especially loud, broadway songs... My poor mother endured the trip to the theatre very well, and though we couldn't find a Chick-fil-a ANYWHERE (which is rather unfortunate) we had a thoroughly enjoyable car ride. 

Upon exiting the car, in a large parking garage, my dear friend Morgan was belting the final note from a Phantom of the Opera song. Much to her dismay there were two guys getting out of a car not too far away from us. Mortification. Worse, they got into the same elevator as us. 

My mother, attempting to make conversation, remarked on the size of one of the fellow's notebooks. She was corrected, however, that it was the score to the Moby Dick opera. *ahem* And not only were they in it but he was the COMPOSER and the other the CONDUCTOR. 

Exciting times with my buddies. 

I am very tempted to go and see the opera. I googled it, and was very amused to see the picture of the two fellows we met in the elevator: http://www.dallasopera.org/the_season/091004-index.php
