An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.

So I have to start by saying that this blog entry is very outdated. I saw this play back in December and sadly never got around to writing about it. I have to say when I came up with the idea of #17 I presumed that I would be watching a big play in a big urban city somewhere, but none the less the opportunity came up and it seemed to make perfect sense for me to take in the grand theater in the little town of Peachland.
It all started when I was out for beers with my coworker and friend Sherri and she told me about how she took on the roll of the wicked witch in a musical version of Snow White. Now, knowing Sherri and her wacky personality and ability to sing I knew this was a no brainer! I bought tickets for myself and Chelsea. Chelsea used to do tiny plays like this when she was a little kid and I knew she would enjoy it..... PS Chelsea's old plays HILARIOUS!
Overall I really enjoyed the play, it was a very small venue in a community club in Peachland. The best parts about the play were the children actors and their exaggerated dramatic behaviors. Sherri was pretty amazing herself, for the most part she carried the play! The best costume and funniest character had to be the girl who got to play the magic mirror, she constantly got to rhyme bad jokes and burns towards the witch, aka Sherri. The kids that played the dwarfs were pretty awesome too, I believe they were Chelsea's favorites.
Now, I know what everyone is thinking....why not wait for a actual big production play before crossing this off my list. I know a big play with all its "glam" would be very incredible but this small community play is actually what I wanted and i didn't even know it. There is something heart warming about seeing a community come together during the holidays to have a little fun and I got what I wanted, which was to be entertained and have a good laugh. I surely wont forget it, in fact I am likely to remember that night as well as I would the night I see a big Broadway play....thus #17 CHECK!
Lights, Camera ...ACTION... KOOLAID!
