Every year our middle school puts on a play. This year they performed Guys and Dolls. If you think about it this is kinda a weird play for middle school, I mean it is all about love and gambling. But this is what they choose to do and they did a great job. Around Christmas time tryouts began. Torie and Porter both tried out (I do not know where they come from! I would have never had the nerve to do something like that and I don't think Ron would have either!). Porter got the part of Nicely Nicely, the fat goofy gambler (when he got the part he said "Huh I am not fat and I don't gamble kinda funny huh?) and Torie got the part of a Hot Box Girl (back up dancer to the main character) and a towns person. Practices started late December and went through the middle of March. Sometimes they would go to school for a 7:00am practice and not get home until 6:00 pm. But they stuck it out and did a fantastic job! I was so impressed with the whole production. Every one who participated has every reason to proud of themselves! I have some video, but I have to figure out how to upload them for some reason it is not working. When I do I will share them but for now here are a few pictures.
Porter as Nicely Nicely and Ian as Sky Masterson.

It was soooo good! I am also amazed at where your kids get that courage to get up there and perform. My kids like the spotlight too and it baffles me!
How awesome is that! I wish we would of went to see it. Your kids are always willing to try anything. That's great!
I just got caught up on your blog -reading is much easier than writing - I need to get caught up on MY blog! Someday...for now, I am sorry Cherai is gone. That is hard. Bryndee is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have seen the play - but I am very proud of Torie and Porter. It is a lot of work to be part of play and it looks and sounds like they did a wonderful job of it!
Love you all - Marissa
