The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 7

[Glynis]

Theresa -- tell Cassidy congrats from me on her band's accomplishments. That is terrific!

Jennifer -- thanks for the link to the furniture... fun to look through!

I have a proud Mom moment to share too. As you know, Kristin (DD19) is a theatre performance major in college. Every spring the entire department is required to audition for the following semester's Main Stage productions. This is a highly competitive time as they only do 4 shows a year on that stage and there are about 150 performance majors vying for those casts.

The plays being produced next semester are "The Nerd" (a comedy) and "Medea" (... not a comedy )

Kristin assumed that if she was to be cast she would win a role in the comedy since that is one of her strengths. Well... guess what... ... you got it... she is in "Medea." She was cast as one of the Chorus.

The director is a Visiting Artist from the Royal Shakespeare Company who is quite young and a little out of the box, so Kristin is more enamored with the production now. The callbacks were rigorous and she is fascinated by the tack this director is taking so far. The role of Medea will be played by a very talented hearing impared grad student. She will sign her lines and they will be interpreted in the spoken word. I cannot wait to see it!

I am so proud of Kristin and her hard work to get this part and am looking forward to watching her grow as an actor through this new opportunity. If I could, I would buy all the available tickets and invite you all to Tammi's house to stay so you could be there for opening night....

Wow! Medea is an amazing play!!! The Chorus is the most important part in any Greek play, and Medea is no exception. Who is the director? Do you know his name?

I really wish that VA was closer to UT as I would love to come see that play! The Nerd I can leave, but I adore Medea!

Congratulations to Kristin! That is a spectacular achievement! Give her a DDA hug!

I think I am going to head to walgreens....I think I have sun poisoning...when I looked it up...it sounds & looks a lot like my legs.

Whatever you need for relief -- pack it in your suitcase for the 18th!

Her first name is Heather.... I don't know the last name. I am sure I will shortly. I am hoping it will not be taken in vain when I hear it...

Thanks for the congratulations, everyone! She is very excited.

Marti -

Why did you take the fab 4 out of your sig?

 

[Tammi67]

Believe it or not, I am going to bed. It has been a rough week at work and it's only half over. Have fun hitting another milestone. Good night.

I found these x-mas Disney Hats at a theme park outlet in Vegas...we will wear the for MVMCP.

If anyone is interested I have 6 or so extras..they are $1.50.

Let me know...

Kristine

Wow, cool! Craig bought me that hat to the tune of $12 in December. LOL

Where is the outlet? We're off to Vegas 3 weeks from today.

How are you feeling Dawn? Did you do too much today??

I feel fine but I'm swollen again. Not as bad as yesterday, though. Thanks for asking

Oh, and I had a good bp check at the Dr. today

I love it, Anne Marie! I cannot wait to hear how the kids reacted.

Oh it was great!!! I went to my DS's school this afternoon & it couldn't have gone better. I brought my little DD with me since she only has half day preschool. So I meet the teacher in the hall. We walked to the room & she stands at the door & tells the kids that they have a special treat today..2 secret readers! I walk in with & my son jumps up yelling "Mommy, Mommy!" & comes running to hug me & my DD.

I read the story to the kids & they really listened well. I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher so things like this put me in my glory. Anyway, after the story I told the kids that I brought cauliflower for them all & they all laughed & went "ewww" but then I brought out the goody bags with fun stuff & candy & they all said "you tricked us" & laughed. They were all so cute. My DS got to hand them out to his classmates & I could tell he was really proud to do so. He got a special sticker from the teacher & he was all smiles. He said "You are such a good mommy, that I couldn't make a mommy better than you". I was in tears. Some days that little boy can drive me to the nuthouse but he was just so sweet today.

Thanks for asking.

Ditto! I'd like to know too, just in case there are none left!

Kate - Glad to hear that things are going better for Nick!

Elin - Send congrats to your DD! You can tell how proud of her you are!

And that is why we are happy as parents! Thanks for filling us in on the outcome. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about it.

Glynis --

The director's name is Heather Davies. She is originally from Canada. That is about all I got out of Kristin since it is AI night

 

[KristineN]

The Las Vegas Outlet Center....call before you go...apparently the stores travels around to different places.

If you do go...it is South down the Strip...about 2 miles past Mandalay Bay. If you are not driving...take the trolley from Mandalay bay directly from there. $4 round trip. If you need specific travel info...let me know.
They had a lot of pins, shirts, etc...I really didn't know what everyone needed or wanted, or I would have bought more>
