Our girl has been in rehearsals for the past two months for her first theatre production. She is a member of the ensemble cast for a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. She plays a villager, palace chef and footman for Cinderella's carriage.
Five days before the first performance she fell ill with a nasty gastro bug. She was very sick and dehydrated. She missed all the final technical and dress rehearsals, and also had to miss her first two performances. Naturally, she was disappointed.
When she was finally fit and well enough to return there were some costume problems. She had lost so much weight, one of her costume skirts was too big. Because there are some quick costume changes, the dressers needed to safety pin her skirt together to stop it from falling down.
Otherwise, her first performance went without any dramas. She loved performing and is continuing to enjoy the experience. She already has her sights set on auditioning for a production of Alice in Wonderland in a few months time. This time, however, she wants an individual role.
