Right after New Years we started in on rehearsals for Pippin with the junior set. We have 48 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 who will be doing our family friendly version of the classic Broadway show. The HP Choir begins its 30th year, with a Spring
season of music of The Earth. Such songs as Picture a World, What a
Wonderful World, Colors of the Wind, Joy of the Hills, and Under the
Sea will be the selections sung in June. Ana was an Alto taper, but
will sing Tenor for the season. |

The gals spent a weekend evening at what has become a tradition now ... the annual car show downtown. Fabulous cars ... they're always dreaming! Joyce was looking at a lot of the "green" cars but this one will always be her favorite. Joyce spent a week with her dad skiing between quarters at college. Shows we've seen with or starring friends:
Rocky Horror for the 3rd year in a row, with our friend
Aaron as Rocky. |

| Ana and Joyce wanted to join several of their
friends in the cast of Best Little W'house in Texas
(yes, you know the one!) but the timing for the auditions didn't fit
well with Pippin, so they weren't able to. A few weeks
later, Ana got a call from the director asking if she'd be
interested in the small but quirky role of Doatsie Mae, the
"wise-cracking proprietress of the Texas Twinkle Cafe." Since quirky
is Ana's favorite style to perform these days, she accepted right
away. Rehearsals finished up and performances started for Pippin, and the kids were having a great time with the show. Shows we've seen with or starring friends: 1940's Radio Hour, and the gals knew every single member of the cast! |

| Performances for Pippin wrapped, cast
parties were had, and the set was disassembled and put away. Another
year, another junior show. They grow up so fast. Ana feels
like a "mom" to each and every one of the kids.
For Spring Break we went, where else?! See the pictures. Shows we've seen with or starring friends: Damn Yankees, where we knew several of the cast and staff. |
