The Schoolmistress

She was in her first play today. Well, this weekend. There were three performances. I think she liked it :) If there's one kind of geek to be in school, the drama geek is the most fun. I loved it so much in school. Being surrounded by creative and fun people all the time, the crushes you develop, the exhilaration you feel when the final curtain comes down - the sickness and fear right before your cue, the long hours spent dressing the set and actors, more hours on top of that spent blocking and rehearsing.. God it was fun. I'm so chuffed the kid enjoys it too.



Shannon played the Schoolmistress in "A Christmas Carol." A small part to be sure, but frankly she was just excited to find she made it past the audition stage and had a part at all. The other girl in the shot is her best friend who played one of the businessmen discussing Scrooge's death during the future sequence.

I would put up a shot of her doing her part but it turned out too dark. Ah well. It was a good performance :)
