Last weekend we enjoyed three nights of culture! Started with Lake Oswego High School's fall production of "The Addams Family"
Only problem with all these musicals in one weekend.....I may need to buy this t-shirt!
Predictably quirky and lots of fun! Two of my 'seminary boys' were in this show. I just loved seeing their musical side as they sang and danced on stage!
Friday night we treated ourselves to "Riverdance" for the 2nd time.
So many talented singers and dancers and musicians! And the amount of energy is phenomenal! I mentioned to George that we should take up Irish dancing! Goodbye weight problems!
Saturday night we had the pleasure of attending our Stake's production of "Fiddler on the Roof".
Every other year for the last 26 years Lake Oswego Stake has entertained the community with a great musical. That is 13 productions, all directed by the same volunteer woman. How she manages to pull this off in just 10 weeks is beyond me! There is a huge cast of men, women, teenagers and children, some with little or no stage experience. The sets, costumes, orchestra, singing and dancing are close to professional level. I am in awe.
Three of my seminary kids were in this production. And since this is the only one of the three shows that allowed photography, I couldn't resist.
Olivia is the dancer in the red head scarf. She was so fun to watch on stage. She lights up our seminary class each morning with her joy for life! I felt the same joy watching her on stage!
Jackson was one of the bottle dancers. He's the one in the dark brown shirt. Loved seeing him dancing and singing!
Not a single bottle fell! Jackson says that it is easier than it looks! It would have to be, as it looks virtually impossible.
Christian was the tailor, Motel Kamzoil. If you remember the story, he gets to sing the great song "Miracles" and he marries one of Tevye's daughters while the parents and townspeople sing "Sunrise, Sunset"!
