Today...September 17, 2014

Today I was zipping through my emails when one in particular caught my eye. As I opened it up and began reading, I realized that I was on an invitation list to direct one of three shows at a nearby Children's Theatre organization for this year.  And as I read further I saw that one of the shows was a particular piece that I've been interested in directing for many, many years.

I sat and considered the letter, and realized that directing Children's Theatre is an experience that I am no longer going to be able to do...because of my lifestyle change and all. Yet as I look back at all the past experiences and productions I have been blessed to be involved with--since the AGE OF SIX: I can't help but think, "You know M'Lisa, it's been a good run; a very, very good run." Plus I'm a firm believer that what I learn in this life, I'll definitely get to take with me to the next. So I'm just going to have to let Theatre go for now; (so much easier said than done!)

BUT--I do have a YouTube Video of one of the very first Children's Theatre productions I ever directed. Yes, it was with a VERY prestigious acting troupe that called themselves THE FRONT PORCH PLAYERS. What you are about to see is THEIR version of SLEEPING BEAUTY!  ENJOY!
