the high school my girls went/go to (the older daughter graduated in 2015) always does a musical, and a few dramas. they've done Fiddler on the Roof, Barnum, Anything Goes for musicals, and i really don't remember all the dramas they've done - there's a fall and spring one each year.

both my daughters do backstage work, and last year when older daughter was a freshman at college, she worked on lights and set for A Chorus Line. this year she did the light design for Almost Maine. we'll be going up to see Cabaret at the end of February - i'm pretty sure she's working lights for that too. their middle school had musical every year, and both girls worked on them when they were in 6-8th grade, which is why they like theatre as much as they do now. older one wants to have theatre as a minor at college. =)

OH! I remember the other one I was in. Night of January 16th. I forgot about it because I had a bit part -- I had the most stage time of any character because I was the bailiff, but I didn't have many lines at all. (NOT an easy part to play when you have ADHD. Have to be at attention the whole time, not distracting from the rest of the actors, and NOT FIDGETING.)

My school did fall and spring performances too. One of my friends played the male lead in The Imaginary Invalid for one of the shows I didn't participate in. I don't recall if I didn't participate in the other plays because I didn't want to do marching band and drama at the same time, or if it was because I just didn't get into the drama team until my junior year. I should ask my mom. She'd know.

that's pretty cool, Coda!

conversely, i didn't do anything with band or theatre when i was in high school. i was in SADD, and that was all.

Not even that much of a parent conversation considering I was talking about myself.

[trystan830]

Fair enough, I suppose.

Too bad the count isn't fair.
