That is all I can say. This whole process has been incredible. I have learned so much from your kids and learning how to work with this age group. There are dozens of people who worked so hard on this project and 25 parents filled out the survey and all of them said that they would allow their child to do a another show. That validates my desires to do so.
I returned home from my LDS mission in November and went in and spoke with Mrs. Day about doing a show at ACYI. I was kind of nervous to ask because I didn't want to get shot down. I had been thinking about doing an ACYI from 2010 when I helped out with Happy Days. She told me "The worst ACYI can say is no." It had been 2 years since a show was done there and there was a 2 year drought before that. So I went in and Principal Chournos said "Yeah, sure, what do you want to do?" And was most helpful in doing so. Not having a Drama Teacher at ACYI was one of the biggest things that impeded shows before. So a show was decided and look now it's over. What started out as a simple thought to do a show turned into an amazing experience that I am so glad to have participated in.
There will be a cast party in the High School Drama room Wednesday, May 8th at 3:30. Kids can bring treats and pillows or bean bags, whatever they want. We will be watching a slide show of pictures from the show and then watching the recording of the show. It will be done by 4:40. (The recording of Saturday Night's show was 53 minutes).
Once again thank you for all your hard work and this blog will be the same one for next year. The tentative show date for next year is mid-March with auditions happening in January, right after Winter Break. See you around.
WE LOVE YOU RYAN!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!--SHANNA AND "DORI THE NERD" (ALISA)! :)
