A Taste of the Theater

Last week, we got to see a sneak peek of Christopher's show, Annie Get Your Gun! Leila isn't quite ready to see the show at the real performance time, which is bed time, but the 4 o'clock rehearsal was the perfect time of day! The only other time she has seen one of Christopher's shows was when she was 2 months old. I think she was quieter then!! This time around, she lasted 45 minutes...not bad for a three-year-old at an adult musical. On the ride home she asked if I had Annie Get Your Gun music on my ipod. We have been listening to it all week!!! She loves singing with "Doin' What Comes Naturally". Chris and I can't wait for the day she can join us at the theater!!!!!

All dressed up for Daddy's show - Homework Eats Dog - Fall of 2007.

L had to wear her cowgirl boots to AGYG!

Waiting for the show to start and choosing not to smile.
Watching the orchestra warm up. She decided she would like to play the piccolo.
Leila would have been happy to shadow Dad all day, but he was running all over the place tweaking and fixing things.
Chris has a former student, Jaelene, choreograph his shows. She is amazing! Before the show, her and Leila spent some time dancing on stage.
Love this shot with the ghost light!


A shameless plug: Annie Get Your Gun runs the last weekend of February and the first weekend of March at Emerald Ridge. Come see a spectacular show...and Chris's debut direction of a high school musical!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!
