22 August 2010

Brandan has been eager to go mountain biking since we returned from our trip to McCall. He's been looking for bike trails close to home and took Sophie along for a ride. They realized Sophie's derailer was broken, so they stayed on level ground riding through town.

After six weeks of rehearsing, the Suessical opened on Thursday night. Sophie was one of the Whos. We all went to see her perform at the Saturday matinee and loved the show-- very colorful, very cute, lots of singing and dancing, wonderful characterization.

Sophie had late nights every night of the week so she made this sign next to her bed. The sign didn't stop Abe from waking her up at 8 am one morning while chanting, "Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter!" (He was looking for book 5 which Sophie had been reading the night before.) Sophie loves the theater lifestyle-- staying up late, living on adrenaline and sleeping in. 

All three shows were sold out-- a performer's dream. 

Sophie's friend, Ireland, was also in the show.

Those costumes are crazy and awesome. It sounds like the show was a hit - sold out. How fun for Sophie to be a part of a big production.
