I'm becoming more of a "priss" now that I'm aging...not that there's anything wrong with that. Normally I wouldn't be comfortable with any sort of active movement without a (basket/volley)ball in my hands or occasionally a machine or exercise step involved. However... our church is putting on a Broadway style Christmas musical this year after a long hiatus. What makes it more exciting is that our community just renovated a 30's era theater that was built along the original Route 66. It's gorgeous, and our musical, set at Thanksgiving of 1941, will be a perfect opening Christmas event for it! (Not to mention fun!) We're doing "I'll be Home for Christmas," which is set partly in a family's San Francisco apartment and partly in a radio station (which, back then, would have had live audiences frequently). My part is to be a radio actor/live performer for the radio station. I, along with about 10 others, have to learn authentic dance steps to perform along with the music we're singing. I even had to by character shoes for dancing!!! I'm feeling pretty awkward, but judging from the relative position I have on the stage (they won't let me hide in the back) and from the fun I'm having, I must not be "stinking it up" too badly. I never thought I'd enjoy something like this so much, or that it would be such a welcome diversion from other things that are going on ;). I'll keep you posted, but for my benefit, there will be NO video cameras allowed at our practices or performances! Ha ha!
