It was hard to narrow the pictures down. Here's some of the shots from after the 4 performances of Honk! Jr. - the SELECT CAST. Hopefully, I'll have the pictures from during the play this summer as we're not allowed to take pictures during the play.

As you probably know, Hannah had her performances back in April for Honk! Jr. 
In May, Moezart puts on what they call a "select troop or cast" of kids from all their classes from all over the valley. They pick from all the students to perform again for these very special shows. Kids from Surpirse,Glendale,Phoenix, & Chandler got picked to perform 4 more shows of this fun musical. 

Hannah was chosen to be the Mother Swan. She got 4 lines and was pretty excited about the costume & makeup. She was also a duck in the beginning scenes (those are the brown dress pics).  We're so proud of her!

It was quite a feat for the director to pull kids from 4 different areas and get them to perform together in less than 2 weeks. Each city had slightly different choreography and other things they each did differently. Hannah has had 2 straight weeks of rehearsals/shows except for Sundays. Practices went from 6-9:30 or 10pm each night. Four hours on a Saturday. Four nights of shows. After getting home at 10:30ish after each show, she had to shower & then I had to roll her hair in curlers so we were not getting to bed till after midnight. It was all worth the fun though. Hannah will now be suffering from what I call "PPD"-post production depression.  It happens every time. Sadness that it's all over-till the next one anyway:)

I really didn't see how her last play, "Fools", could be topped even though it wasn't a musical. Fools was so very funny. But this show was amazing too. Now I wonder if they can top Honk! Jr. in the fall. I am amazed at these talented kids bringing glory to God!
