Five Days BEFORE Takeoff



One rehearsal left before we start packing our bags!   Grace and Josie are utilizing the experiences of last spring's short tour to prepare the two boys for the upcoming tour.   We have decided that boys think differently than girls as last spring and last fall tours were all female and girls have a certain way that they put the set pieces together.   Grace, Josie and I noticed immediately that the two boys had a definite way to put the poles, curtains and bases together.   It wasn't wrong...probably more intuitive...but definitely LESS creative than the way we were putting things together for the last year.   These four kids really get along with each other and I am anticipating a wonderful tour.   The show is going together very well and these young actors have such energy!  BLUE HORSES is a story of relationships between four 10 year olds and their discovery of how differences between them add to their friendship.  It also demonstrates how great using your imagination is and how it can propel you to become who you really want to be.   Although this play is not a traditional story, it has a super message told in a fun and exciting way. I think our audiences will really enjoy the play and the actors.    Now to bed.   I have to catch up on some sleep before we begin our long journey.   We are anticipating 1500 miles.   Let's see how close we get to that number.
