The kids tried out for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Saturday and did very well, we got news they had been cast late Sunday night. Chandler will be the Duchess, Ben is playing 2 smaller roles, an animal and a Spade and Jake has been cast as the Gryphon, but they have asked if he would consider the larger role of the White Rabbit if their first choice could not do it. The casting is not settled at all, it might change by the time they start rehearsals in June, but that's where things are for now. Matt might or might not be the Knave of Hearts. I will not be doing any of the roles, it's another musical.
In other news, this weekend has been busy! We were out all of Saturday then last night until 2 and ALL dang day today. I plan to stay home until Thursday night, it's too hot and I am ready to be here a while. I am sure June will not be my favorite month with rehearsals 4 nights a week and then Show Week. July looks nice. August will be a little crazy with 8 performances spread over 3 weeks, then September off and October-vacation for a couple of weeks. We are kicking around camping at Disney or maybe just along the Atlantic Coast. Maybe still going out west. It's all balancing on basically house repairs and how much all of that will end up dipping into the budget and Matt's job. Nothing is happening to his job, but he's traveling more and has more responsibility which means we can't just leave town at the end of the quarter or other busy times for the project he's on. If we can't plan a 2-week trip until mid-October, it could be snowing in the Rockies already.
At any rate, things will work out, I am sure of that much.
