I portrayed the role of Beth Bradley and I will be blogging throughout the run of the Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a play at SLT. Beth narrates the story of The Herdmans kids, the worst kids in the history of the world. The Herdmans are Ralph (Dylan Casteel), Imogene (Olivia Tyson), Leroy (Braedan Hall), Claude (Connor Jordan), Ollie (Clayton Cox), and Gladys (Sophia Jenkins). These exceptionally talented actors make the best bad kids in the world! Lol ;) Beth is best friends with Alice Wendleken (Carolyn Billingsley). Which is ironic because Carolyn and I are best c friends in real life! We have actually been cast as counterparts in 4 different shows! We probably have just as many little arguments as Beth and Alice do...(; I have already made such great bonds with all the cast members! I love them!
Exit Laughing is coming to a close which means The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will be coming on stage today! I am beyond excited. It seems like when we come onstage something happens. It's magical, really, the way everything clicks once you get there. I think it's the realization that the end result is coming. That everyone has worked together for so long and now we are being rewarded for all the effort we have put forth on the 4th floor.
I've come to love this cast like family, and I can't wait to spend my last couple of weeks with them.
