The Children's Theatre

The Children's Theatre is where I have some of my favorite memories. As some of you may know, they are moving locations. They will be where the old Avalon used to be. I am going to be in Fiddler on the Roof now, and this past Saturday was my first rehearsal. When I walked in, all the seats were completely gone in the theatre. It was really sad, because I started thinking of sooo many memories!! Rehearsals and plays, the good and bad memories. I have done so many things on that stage.




The shows I have done (in order) and my parts.

-The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.............Susan
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.......................Oompa Loompa
-The Legend of Sleepy Hollow................................school girl & ghost
-Babes in Toyland....................................................Lucy Locket/Little Pig
-Charlotte's Web......................................................Narrator
-The Phatom of the Opera.....................................Carlotta
-The Little Mermaid...............................................Oceanid (sister)
-Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat....Narrator
-Romeo and Juliet.....................................................Nurse
-Cats............................................................................Cat


Not to mention, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first Youthstage show EVER, and the first show on that stage. And during the rehearsals for it, the theatre was still being built! I remember my mom even sewed some of the curtains. I'm SO SAD it is moving, but am excited for the new theatre.




I have had amazing supporters since the beginning!!! At the theatre's OLD location, (the purple building) I took several classes there. This was when I did Anne of Green Gables as a little class.




The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe




When Narnia was OVER! It was so sad! I love Joanne!


Closing night of Narnia! EVERYBODY was in tears. In some ways that was my favorite play, and maybe because it was the closest cast I have EVER been in.




Izzy and I took a class together! Emperor's New Groove.








Phantom of the Opera











The Little Mermaid







Romeo and Juliet cast



Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat


























CATS






Those were the only plays I could find pictures of for some reason!! But anyway. Thanks to all those who have come to see my play one time or another!!!! It's going to be so wierd when it's closed for good. I love that place so much. I have had so many differnt experiences there too. Recieving good news there, reciving not so good news....laughing my head off....getting an exciting part....getting frustrated with directors....cast friedships....cast drama.....prop exploring...trying on fun costumes.....hair/makeup.....dressing room games....Joanne's pre speeches before opening night that were super exciting....the magic on that little stage.

  2. Annie you are a great actress. That was fun coming to your plays. I remember going to 3 of them. I didn't know they were moving locations. It was fun reading this post and seeing all of the fun pictures.

  3. I'm sheddin' a tear. Sheddin' a tear. If I bring you flowers--will you NOT throw them on the ground? That would be MUCH appreciated. Also, please don't compare the size of the flowers to your friend. Okay?
    Can't wait to see you make new and awesome memories on the new stage as well!
