Welcome to Ants'Hillvania! Opening night

 Your anthill tour begins with the cast poster. You can see each bio & picture placed depending on their main character. Hannah was an ant but her biggest part was a spider so she's in the spider web. You can't tell all that well from this picture but there's a worm up near the flowers,a millipede along the bottom right, a dragonfly on the left side, and the weeds on the top left. Then the ant next to the director's picture has a tiny crown on it's head because she'd be the "Queen Ant". Get it? Pretty clever & cool.
 A bit closer up of the spider web.
 And finally, a close up of my favorite spider-Suzi.
 With friends while waiting for makeup.

 After the show with our Suzi Spider. You can't tell exactly how cool the spider costumes were because they glowed in the dark and Hannah's not wearing her hood with extra spider eyes that also glowed but you'll just have to take my word for it. And their web glowed too.

 Family shots
Disneyland pictures are on hold. There's so many of those pictures & I really wanted to get these up. Ants'hillvania opened up last night to a HUGE crowd. This is a story of the prodigal son or as in our case, daughter (there's way more girls in theater than boys). There's a nice lesson about sowing seeds as well. Hannah was an ant in some scenes but she really shined, or maybe I should say "glowed", as Suzi Spider. 
There is a happy colony of worker ants, well, except for the CommandANT's daughter. She wants to be free of work,be famous, be independANT. She wants her inheritANTS now! I suppose you can imagine all the "ant" puns now. Sadly, she's given her money and off she goes to take care of #1. She gets some words of wisdom from her dad,Mr. Worm, Miss Millipede, and some flowers. The weeds make a scene too. But she still wants to get out into the big world. D.F., the dragonfly, promises her wealth & fortune along with his commission. He sends ANTabell off where she is caught in the spiders' web. Looks like she's going to be dinner! But one of the spiders makes her a deal. If Antabell can solve some riddles, they'll let her go free. One spider jokingly suggests she better say her prayers. What a great idea!! Antabell escapes after explaining the riddles and goes back to Ants'hillvania. But she thinks no one will want her back. She's truly sorry and of course the ants welcome her home. 
The End.
There were some new people to theater and they did a terrific job. The audience loved it and they got a standing ovation. Next show is tomorrow.
