I can kiss my Friday nights goodbye...

...because I'm going to be spending them between now and the first week of December in rehearsals for The Nutcracker! My former ballet teacher moved to another studio, where they are doing a full-length version complete with orchestra. I heard about it a little late, so I thought I wouldn't be able to do it, but then a part opened up and here I am.

I'll be playing a parent in the party scene (1st act), which means that mostly I'll be walking around in Victorian dress and pretending to socialize with the other parents. There will probably be a stately dance or maybe two, depending on what the directors are doing in this version. Anyway, my first rehearsal is Friday night and I'm really looking forward to it.

I should go get ready for the school day...but I just wanted to share how excited I am about getting to perform again!
