The (latest) Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

So this year, I got the chance to direct The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I took over directing mid-year to serve one of our teachers at Masters. This production was primarily middle schoolers. Joanna helped with make-up and back stage managing. It was neat to sit up in the tech booth and orchestrate the behind the scenes stuff, wearing our cool headsets. Haha.

Here are a few fun pics of the students (Daniel is the Dwarf :).

Work and Wind

The Cast of Wind in the Willows

It turned out to be a tougher school year than we thought! I think we are finally (after 5 months) beginning to find a rhythm. First we had to cut back on a lot of outside activities. Then I began spending a lot more time with my older children to keep them on task! Now, back to helping the little ones more again! How does one make this all work?

One thing is a constant. Joanna will forever be an entertainer! Since Annie, she played Ms. Hawkins in Treasure Island, co-directed Anne of Green Gables, ran tech for It's a Wonderful Life, and did some reenacting for a "Ghost Tales" tour of downtown Woodstock.

She also led worship solo at school this past fall. It looks like she may be playing and singing more in the future!

This semester, she and some great friends at Masters performed The Wind in the Willows. Joanna is "Mole." She's made some longstanding friends at Masters, as have the boys. Up and coming? Daniel will play the Dwarf in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe this spring!
