S.A.H.D. Guy on Pippi Longstocking #2
As promised, here are some of the pics from Pippi Longstocking. We all really had a great time performing it. This is the entire cast before our final performance. It was a great group of people and I already miss spending time with them every week! We performed in front of 6 different elementary schools over 2 days. The kids were absolutely great! Each audience was unique too. At most of the schools the kids were cheering when the cops (one of them played by me) were getting beat up and tossed around by Pippi. Oh well (sigh). The kids loved the play because it had people getting tossed around by Pippi like they were rag dolls. It had pirates. It had a treasure chest of gold. It had a carnival strongman (who Pippi ends up tossing around). It had suckers at the carnival. It even had a couple of times that some of the kids got to be involved with the production. Audience participation is always a good thing, especially when the audience is kids. The reactions of the kids to different things were often great too! At one school while Pippi was tossing me around (one of my cop scenes) some of the little kids started yelling, "Leave Pippi alone you mean cop!" Hmmmmmmm...I think I was the one being man handled (or is it girl handled?) by her, not the other way around. We had another school where the kids were all cheering when the character was trying to get Pippi away to a children's home ended up getting thrown around by the pirate (Pippi's dad) and his crew. Besides playing one of the cops, I also was one of the old women at the coffee party. I'm pretty sure I can safely say I am one of the ugliest old women I have ever seen! Our director thought it would be funny to have a guy play that part (and a guy with a goatee too -- no, I didn't have to shave it). The kids thought it was pretty funny when I kept stealing and eating the cookies of one of the other ladies at the party. Anyway, it really was a fun time once again. I can't wait to see what we do next!
