Halloween Play- I'm practically famous!


I am part of a group of moms that put on children's plays about 4 times a year. We are called The Enchanted Entertainers. We just put on our Halloween play. We did 8 performances in 2 days and had almost 1200 kids, teachers and parents came to watch. That a lot for our little library and small community of 9000. Were practically famous!! I was even in the paper! ( see bottom picture) We were breaking fire code on more then one occasion. We did two plays. The first, was about some ghosts who decide to try different sheets other then plain white (picture above). I am the ghost with the blue Lightning McQueen Sheets. The second play (and the best) was called the Ernie and the 5 Persnickety Pumpkins. I play Ernie the poor sad green pumpkin who just wants a friend and to turn green and all the other pumpkins in the patch make fun of him. In the end all the other pumpkins fell to worser fates while Ernie finally turned orange and became a Jack O Lantern. They were both very cute plays and were a lot of fun to do. As moms we laugh so hard doing it. I don't think I've laughed that hard since high school. This is the Ernie play- I'm the green one. And... yes... most of my pumpkiny roundness is my own natural roundness.

We also had a cowboy pumpkin, a snotty pumpkin who thought she was a model, a prissy stuck up pumpkin, and a fat pumpkin that liked to eat.

This is our whole cast- I know what you are thinking. Green really is my color!
Eve and I made the front page of the paper! We are in the bottom left greeting the audience as they left. We are famous! I had extra material from making my costume so Eve and Isaac have a pumpkin costumes too.
