Remember this post when I had that insane dance audition? I couldn’t believe when Theatre in the Park posted the cast lists for their summer season and I was on one of them! I had the privilege of being cast in the role of Sister Margaretta in The Sound of Music. I know…this is the third time I’ve done this show, but I've played different roles each time (Liesl in 2001, Ensemble Nun at Lyric Theatre in 2008, and now Sister Margaretta in 2011!). Plus, I was named after a character in it, so I figure it’s ok. Haha! It was such a great experience, and of course I met some amazing people. Performing on that huge stage at the largest outdoor community theatre in the country was a pretty awesome thing. What made it even better was the fact that I had so many family and friends come and support me, some from as far as Minnesota and California!
Here are some pictures of the show. You can also go to the photographer’s website to see (lots) more.
Natalie (Mother Abbess – isn’t her make-up job amazing?), Jackie (Maria), and me
This is what happens when you have a lot of time between scenes…nuns playing cards
Featured Nuns with Franz, the butler. From L to R: Natalie (Mother Abbess), Rachel (Sister Sophia), Tom (Franz), me (Sister Margaretta), and Joyce (Sister Berthe)
And some goofiness with Maria!
Natalie’s folks brought her this sweet bear for opening night. She took on a character all her own. Meet Sister Masha.
“The Liesls!” Me and Bethany (Liesl)
Nice close-up of Jackie and me. I was so blessed by new friends in this cast!
And of course, the kids who stole the show…the Von Trapp Kids!
Sabrina (Marta) cleaning up the dressing room. Child labor??
“The Von Trapp Children don’t play, they sweep”
Millie (Gretl) was helping Bethany (Liesl) with her make-up. This is community theatre, after all.
Me and sweet Avery (Brigitta). The kids had some quick costume changes, and I was Avery’s helper.
I’m hoping to be able to do another show with Theatre in the Park next summer…it was such an incredible experience!
