Into the Woods!

In November, our Drama department put on Into the Woods! It was sooo fun to be in, and I got a semi-main part. Into the Woods, if you dont know is a story about a baker and his wife that have to go through a journey to get many different items from classic fairy tale characters. A cow as white as milk from Jack (beanstalk Jack), a cape as red as blood from Little Red Riding Hood, Hair as yellow as corn from Rapunzel, and a slipper as pure as gold from Cinderella. I played the Baker's Wife who, although she lacks a name, is ultimately the main character along with her husband...the baker. My husband was Josh Barton, one of my good friends since middle school.

Because the drama department has too many participants all wanting the same parts, most people in the play were double casted, myself included. It seemed that anyone who was double casted had a lot of drama in the drama between them. (except guys who are completely and totally emotionless) In the whole process of double casting, my alter ego told me that she wanted to kill me. Trust me, DRAMA.

Anyways, I had a lot of fun doing this. It was amazing and I learned to love the play! We only did the first half of the play, otherwise I would have died a tragic death. So I like the version of the play were I dont die! It was all in all a lot of fun. I got to make a lot of the sets as well as be a character. It was fun to be apart of a drama production and actually feel included and have fun.


I enuciated my words to an art form


Getting hair from Rapunzel


Talking to my hubby about some beans


Trying to steal me a slipper! This scene was a lot of fun, but so much more when I was trying to get a shoe from someone about two feet taller then me. Sadly Scott and I could not do this scene together. Drat that double casting!


The group song at the end, notice my oh so amazing baby bump! (that didnt look very good)


No one gets into the songs quite like I did...


Joshua, my baker husband!


This picture is so great on so many levels. I think Mace was telling me something about the play. He was so cute because he really did like the play! And had some interesting opinions on everything...



My beautiful Valley cousins came to see me! I love them so much, Thanks for supporting me girls :]
