Frog and Toad




Allison performed every weekend in March at the Woodland Opera House. This play was Frog and Toad and it was amazing. It is so cool to be a part of such a wonderful group of kids a people. I am learning more and more with each production that Allison is in, and I am is awe of how much time, effort, dedication and heart and soul go in to making a show happen. I wish I could shout from the roof tops so all of Woodland could understand and appreciate what it takes to be in a production. The craziest part, is most of the crew are volunteers. It is all for the love of “the game” if you will. I got to work in the Green Room (under the stage) for all of tech week, and this is where I really get to know the kids. It is fun. Paige even got to help me one day, and she was in heaven. Geoff finally took a leap and worked the Green Room for one of the shows, and really enjoyed it. It is a totally different perspective being under the stage and not in the audience. I think he will even volunteer to do it again :o)Allison was a bee and a squirrel and loved every minute of it! She is always in her happy place when she is at the Opera House. We are blessed and lucky to be involved. Allison is coming off of 2 back to back shows so the down time will be nice, but we will miss being at the theater and rehearsals. But she is in acting class this session so she won’t skip a beat! She had an amazing run with Frog and Toad and we can’t wait for the next show!

Paige finally got to "work" with me for a bit in the much talked about Green Room....she loved it!
