My family gets involved every year with the community theater musicals. This year's production is Camelot. Not one of my favorites, I will admit.
I usually make sure to be involved in some way. And when I have no interest in peforming, I go behind the scenes. And I get to have way more fun. ;) Sometimes, I move scenery or help with props. But, I always help with costumes. I love the Director. And her daughter and I are like twins. It's uncanny. They are mostly in charge of costumes but my mother is their Costume Manager. She loves it. And I usually am her assistant.
Since I had no interest in the musical this year and I have been working hard on projects of my own, I didn't want to take the time to be involved at all. And you know what? I got away with it for a long time. I almost had it in the bag this year, staying away. Unfortunately, yesterday I spent the day helping with the last costuming of the cast. Which was also fortunate. I found out that 7 people I know from my church are going to be in it! And about half of them are leads!!! So, I found this new excitement for the production and am going to get involved from here on out this year. Just in time for performances.
This week will also be jam packed with preparing to have a DoTerra party, a baby shower next week, and getting ready for my brother and his family to come for a visit.
Can I do it? I think yes.
Here's to a very big crazy summer!
Haha you like doing costumes but not at the same time. That would be a fun experience but pretty hard. Was it people from your old ward or new one in it? Apparently talented people just build up around you haha
ReplyDeleteI think mostly it is the people that I love. We have this really big family that forms whenever the play happens. And every year they want me back. It's great to feel loved like that. Costumes are very hard work though. I have been so tired because I am working 2 businesses plus doing the play and trying to write some novels. It is not easy. But I love it. And hate it, haha.
