CAMELOT!


After just two and a half weeks of rehearsal at the conservatory, the cast and crew moved to Waveny Park to do final rehearsals and tech work on the outdoor stage under the giant white tent. The adult performers have this lovely trailer for getting ready and changing (and hanging out in the A/C when it is hot out!). 
Here is Corinne in front of her spot in the trailer (her name is spelled wrong of course). The smile means that tech week (commonly referred to as "hell week" by performers) hasn't yet begun.
Here I am rehearsing "Fie on Goodness" on the stage. So, tech week for us meant nearly 40 hours of rehearsing, and 3 full shows for real audiences!!!
In our medieval garb (the jazz sneakers are a special touch).
This is our Merlin. He's very talented and looks the part, don't you think?

We opened the show on Saturday night to a crowded audience. The show went very well and we had a blast. The weather was spectacular -- 75 degrees with a slight breeze.  The show is a tad long (2 hours 40 minutes !!) but overall it's pretty entertaining. Corinne and I went to Remos in Stamford after to celebrate. We had our favorite pizza and chocolate mousse cake. Yum!

During our Christmas visit to CA, we went to Baker's beach to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Welcome...

Yes, yes, we realize we're jumping on a bandwagon....but come on, it's just so much fun! How else can you turn yourself or your family into instant celebrities?! Or make everyone else think you have a perfect life...

Anyway, welcome to our newest addition! It doesn't cry or need attention. And no diaper changing. Whatever we tell it to do, it does (until the computer crashes). And we can sleep in on Saturday.

Well, life is good. We live in Connnecticut. You know, the place about which Glenn Close's character in the Stepford Wives said, "Where in America could a whole town of robots go unnoticed? Connecticut!"

Allan is working as a Landscape Designer and Corinne is working as a Singer/Dancer/Actress! We have the greatest church ward this side of the Mississippi - lots of big active families and our chapel is only 2 miles away. Allan serves as the 11 year old primary teacher and Blazer leader, and Corinne is the YW Personal Progress Leader. There are hundreds of young people in our ward, so it's busy!

Browse our recently added pictures, slideshows, and posts. We'll do our best to keep it updated.

There is a big balloon parade put on by UBS, and they set everything up just outside our balcony -- cool!
