My AWESOME Cast!!!Our production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" went swimmingly well!!! (*YAY*) I'm soooo proud of all "my kids." Their hard work and concentration really paid off! (And mine, too!) I directed the show, and designed the costumes, and it was WAAAAAAYYY more fun than folks ought to have when they're that busy. But I truly LOVED it. :-)
Here are a few pictures:
Me, with my mouth open, as usual. ("This is ACTING, people!") We had some great rehearsals!
I had the COOLEST Oberon! Aren't his "bodyguards cute-- I mean, terrifying? Oberon's costume was supposed to represent "Fire"...
...and our Titania's represented "Water." (Below is a better shot of her costume.)Isn't our "Bottom" adorable? He was great! (Played by Preston K.)
(L. to R.) Lysander, played by Matthias McD.; Oberon, played by Ben McD.; Titania, played by Jean B.; and Dave McD., my Stage Manager
Lysander again, who ends up with Hermia (Played by my daughter, Morganne.)I love how these two costumes match! And yes, they're just acting like they're in love.
As are these two: Demetrius, played by my Brennan, and Helena, played by the wonderful Kristina J.. He's 13, and she's 17. They did such a good job!
The four married women: (clockwise, from the top) Titania, Helena, Hippolyta, and Hermia
I'll post more later, after I get more pictures off my camera. *sniff* I'm really missing it! (Sigh)

FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteAre they homeschoolers, or was this a community production?
Just awesome, you did a wonderful job on costumes!
Thanks, Jeannetta!
ReplyDeleteThis production was put on by my weekly Shakespeare class for homeschooled teens. In the Fall, we study a Shakespeare play (usually a tragedy), and then in the Spring we perform a different Shakespeare play (usually a comedy).
They are the neatest kids to work with! :-)
Wow, what a lot of work. The costumes look AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I never really connected that you live in the Phoenix area. We stayed in Peoria this time, but maybe another time we could meet up.
