ATTWN - Friends!

 

Final bows... always nice to be the last ones to go out and make the bow/curtsy. 

What a treat it was for all of us, to have Nan and Pop in the audience for both of Cora's performances. (She shared the role of Vera with another actor, taking Thursday and Friday night's shows, while the other actor did the two Saturday shows.)

After hearing about her shows for the last two years, they got to see her performing on stage. Fun that this particular show was set in Devon and Cora was able to use her solid English accent, too!

Nick also finally got to see Cora perform! Thanks to Grandpa for babysitting so Nick could attend with Auntie Mel.

Several extended family members from Grandma's side also came! Here, Cora is chatting with Great Aunt Betty, with cousins Marla and Randy behind them.

Cora has such an amazing support crew who always comes out to see her! This was Friday night - we didn't even get photos with Jeff and Jenn on Thursday, or Violet! And we always appreciate JT and her kids making the long drive just to see a high school play.

Now THIS was special too - Ben, her Guildenstern, was able to make it from UCLA just for the show, in the middle of a very busy college weekend. 

Cora's school friends came out, too, including kids who don't normally go to plays, either.

After show fun - in my role with the Hart Theatre Boosters, which I started, I ordered this Step and Repeat backdrop and ATTWN banner. Loved seeing it in use! 

Cora and Caleb worked so hard together, meeting up at lunch for months to get their many lines down.

All the grandparents together! 

For the Saturday matinee show, Lombard was played by Caleb's understudy, and Cora picked up that actor's minor role. She got to have a West Country accent! So fun. Stace worked with her on it.

Another of my contributions, along with working the concessions table.
