End of an "Era"

It's already time for another transition...I have no idea where the summer went.  Legally Blonde is over, and it's really bitter sweet.  It was the first full show I've done since high school, and even though I didn't think I was going to get through at some points, it was an amazingly rewarding project for me.  I'm going to miss the cast dearly (especially some of the ones who are off to college already or in the near future).  Now fall season starts on Monday and I have 9 classes I'm teaching.  I'm super excited, but I always get a little nervous when I'm starting something new.

While this isn't exactly new, it has been a while, but I'm pretty sure I'm coming out of pageant retirement.  I've been talking to a lot of people about it, and this is what I want to do. :) I also wanted you guys to be the first to know that Renee Bull and I are having a Children's Miracle Network cabaret fundraiser on Sunday September 23rd at 5pm at Premier Centre for the Arts in Middletown.  I'll have more details up soon, but mark your calenders!
Ok that's all for now!
Love you,
Janemarie

Crazy Camps and Legally Blonde

What a whirlwind of a month!  I can't believe how quickly the time has flown.

Week 1: Dance/Theater Camp.  I fell in love with a few little dancers and a few theater kids as well. :) I was sore every day and I don't really think I slept.  55 kids put on an epic show that weekend.

Week 2:  Princess/Superhero Camp.  I had 20 little girls who spent the morning with me making crafts, dressing up, reading stories, and being Disney princesses.  I kept getting tackled by children, I was sore every day, and I think I slept even less.


Week 3: Pageant/Rock Star Camp.  I taught a couple little girls about what it really means to be a pageant queen.  We worked on walks, talent, and interview and put on an amazing show with the rock stars on Friday.  We even had special guests come in!  Thanks again to Miss Blue Gold, Renee Bull, and Miss Kent County, Steffi Holmes, for making the week extra special.  There was a little more sleep, but not much lol.


Week 4: Legally Blonde Tech Week.  Wow...I don't even know what to say about every crazy thing that has happened this week.  All I know is at the beginning I wasn't sure how everything was going to come together, but now I am SO excited to open the show tonight.  Everyone has worked so hard and been so amazing.  Honestly I love tech week because of all of the relationships that I get to build during it.  If you have a chance come see what I've been working on all summer.  :)


Until next time!
Love,
Janemarie
