On November 5-7 Rachel performed in her school's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is the first play of Shakespeare's that I read (waaay back in sixth grade) and it is still one of my favorites. She worked really hard and had a great time. She played the role of Moth, one of the fairies that attend to the fairy queen, Titania. Although she didn't have many speaking parts to memorize, it was really physically demanding in that the fairies had to hold many poses for long stretches at a time. Although all the fairies were great, I think she was the most beautiful and graceful. That's probably the proud mom in me speaking out (but I don't think so.) Brad, the kids and I attended opening night because Brad had surgery the next day. On Saturday night, the kids and I went again. Suffice it to say, we are all proud as can be. So without further ado, let us begin!
Rehearsals.
Getting made up to look more fairy-like.
Fairies in the woods.
Fairies at play.
The whole cast. The kids all did a really good job and the play was most enjoyable. One of them even broke his foot in three places Friday night and still performed wonderfully for Saturday's shows. Ah Rach, you rock!

As far as I can tell from the pictures, she DOES look like the best fairy!
No it's not just that you are the mom.....She really is the most beautiful and graceful one in all the pictures....really! We always go see every jr. high and high school play, but we just couldn't fit this one in. So bummed we missed it. Glad she had such a great experience.
That production looks great! Very professional. Rachel looks beautiful, as always. Good job, Rachel!
