Costumes from Birdie!

Just thought I would let everyone

see the wonderful gift that

Gregg Barnes

the costume designer

gave us

it's the original drawing of our Birdie costumes.

Mine is from the telephone hour.

Here's what it looks like :]

The H Word

Mondays are the worst days out of my week by far.

all i do is school work.

ughh.

& I don't have show,

which is the absolute WORST.

Sweet Apple girl bracelets :]

Just thought I would let everyone

see the bracelets I gave out to all the girls in the cast. They all include, their character in the show, 3 crystal charms, and the date of opening night on the back!

the little charm underneath was a gift from my parents for opening night.

Its a rotary dial phone haha. -from Juicy Couture

P.S. the bracelets and charm are made by

martinisatfive

on etsy.com :]

OPENING NIGHT

So here it is...

the thing that is mandatory for me to blog about.

Opening night.

Possibly one of the most amazing nights of my life.

Here's a few pictures:

John and I :]

The Birdies and I :]

Nolan and I :]

Gina and I :]

New Camera

I Just got a new camera!

It's the Nikon D3000 and its ahhhhhhhmazing!

Mckenzie is leaving :[

I also Just wanted to add, that today is McKenz's last day. I'm going to miss her so much. I've grown so close to her and now that she is leaving I don't know what I will do...

I love you so much Mckenzie, and will miss you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much :[

Ok.. so danny just started blogging

& now... He is obsessed ...

www.danielquadrino.blogspot.com

He's such a cool kid ;] haha

Anyways, I'm in tutoring right now and I feel extremely productive.

haha besides the whole blog thing.

However others are,

1. Painting their nails for opening

2. Watch Nightmare Before Christmas

3.Do work (Me)

4. Watch youtube videos.

5. Find strange ways to get to our dressing rooms,

get lost on the way, and then have to find your way back.

Overall...

a very very very productive day.

Two shows until opening

TWO SHOWS UNTIL OPENING.

it feels like this is our first time ever doing it.

we are all so nervous.

There are mixed emotions.

some are sad because this is what we've been waiting for, and they don't want to see it go by.

Others can't wait.

Overall, we all just want the show to be great.

( as usual )

& run as it usually does.

xxoo deanna

My Family :]

So it's (almost) finally here.

2 shows away.

We all have been waiting for October 15th .

But... there are so many things I will miss.

1. Rehearsal everyday with the people I truly do love.

2. Spending all my time with them.

3. "Tutoring".

4. Having turtle races in the hallway at half-hour.

5. Calling each others dressing rooms, when we have nothing better to do.

The list could go on FOREVER.

I might not be able to do alot of these things after we open...

but I do know that we will create new memories that will be added to the list.

I don't consider " the 14 " my friends.

not even best friends.

The word family is an understatement.

Never have I been so close to a group so much,

they are a part of me.

They have added to who I am.

& I can not wait to spend the next three months together.

I love you guys.

Fun Day

( John, Gianna, Joseph, Gina, and Frankie)

So... only four days away from opening. Pretty Crazy! My whole family came to visit today, and loved the show.

Had so much fun today! Love them like crazy!

P.S. Natalie got us all some awesome lip glosses! Thanks so much!

results of leaving birdies alone with a bag of popcorn: smoke, holes, and a very very very bad smell covered by toxic lysol (sp?).

DRESSING ROOM #7

Just thought I'd let you all you all see our wonderfully sloppy dressing room.

Complete, with Robert Pattinson posters
