Once again I was asked to be a part of the Spirit Bowl Assembly this past Friday. I said I would and then they briefly described what they wanted me to do. This is how it ended up!

Production Photos
Here are just a few of my favorite moments in the show! You can see some of the final touches on the set and our amazing costumes that we rented. There are lots more from the show on facebook!
The "Watch" guarding the prisoners (the rock wall behind them opened up and the actors came out of there.
Dogberry and Verges. These characters were the comic relief and they were both so good at their parts!
Male Deception scene: Ben/Benedick trying to overhear the men talking about how "Beatrice loves Benedick".
Loved Connor in this role (the one on the right). He created such a fun character. And his hair kinda looks like Grandpa Sellers!
Beatrice at the party. Check out her mask. She made it and used her costume as inspiration.
More deception scene and one of my favorite moments of the show. Ben (on ground) was listening and the men on top knew he was there and so sat down. Connor was just dangling his feet over Ben's face. It was priceless!
More of the party scene and more of the beautiful masks that the students painted and designed themselves.
Seriously, these are only a few. It was such a wonderful experience and I was grateful to all those who were able to come and share the moment with me. So many fun stories to take with me!

Making the show
"Much Ado" is over and I had so much help in the process. However, my biggest shout out now is to Nathan! Thanks so much for helping me big bro! You saved it in so many ways and it wouldn't have looked the same without you. Thanks for being the support I needed to feel confident about the show (and the set).
For those of you who don't know how talented and helpful he's been, here's some before and after shots. Before:
Almost the final product...only a few pieces missing:
Here are some details on the set. I'm really quite proud of how some of these pieces turned out. And Nathan helping paint.
These two are in my tech class and in the show. They built and painted this railing.
This is one of the "frames" we built and hung above the set. The cool thing is that the shutters and shingles are made out of cardboard!
This is one of my students who has done so much. She helped build, paint and was the leading female character. So incredible!
I think one of the funnest things about this set is that we didn't build a thing! We assembled everything out of things we already had. This fountain (above) is the library desk from Music Man and then we found pillars in our stuff and foliage from Secret Garden. No money spent on wood at all!
