Backstage Preview Night

Lydia's costume rack. 
Her little dress for the party scene was her favorite color yellow. 
She loved being backstage in the dressing room with all the girls. 
She often would watch Rachel get ready. 

Hilary did her hair for the first few shows and then I got brave and took over. 
The crown braid is not an easy style for me to master, but I finally got the hang of it.

Wendy's homemade bread and jam. Mmmm! 
Tyson waiting for cast meeting to start. 
Quick photo before we went to find out seats. 
Granddad, Courtney, Jake, Raigan & Morgan all sat with us on Preview night. 
We had free tickets to share with them. 


A few photo's from other cast members:

VonTrapp sisters in between scenes. 
 German Soldiers. 
 Mother Abbess & Sister Margaretta. 
 Max & Elsa (Jake & Krissy)
 McKenna & Leah. Nuns & party girls. 
 Sal & Hilary. Two more of my favorite nuns. Their daughters were three of the sisters. 

Preview night had a few kinks in it. As far as Lydia was concerned.... she played with her mic a bit and fidgeted with her costumes. But other than that she did swell. It was so much fun to watch her perform in front of a live audience. She has a talent and love for the stage. Tyson and I smiled from ear to ear the entire show...we may have cried too. So proud!
