Opening Night


After months of rehearsals, tonight was finally Opening Night for  Fiddler on the Roof Jr. at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater!
Leslie and I dropped off our performers at 5:30 for their call time and took the big girls out to dinner at Rosa's before the show.
Reanna, Allison and Faith were so excited to do this production together and have been great friends throughout the whole experience.  They have practiced every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6 and have spent long hours at the theater this week for the dress rehearsals.
Faith and Allison both got roles as daughters and Reanna got the role of a son and a bottle dancer.
 They did an amazing job and I know Allison has loved the experience...from the rehearsals, to the singing and dancing, having a dressing room and learning from some very talented performers and instructors...it has been a truly blessed activity for her.
After the show, they were spoiled with flowers, hugs from Chip and Teresa who came to watch and lots of wonderful praises.  They will have another show Friday night, 2 on Saturday and the final matinee on Sunday.  Matt and I are excited to see it together on Sunday and I think they will see some familiar faces in the audience for all of the shows!
