Phil and I haven't been to a play in about 25years, but today we went to one at a local high school. A student who is a friend of ours had designed the sets. The play was "Little Shop Of Horrors". This was a movie and a play way back when. It's a campy, funny, science fiction romance. You get your money's worth with some of everything. For those of you not familiar with the story, it's set in a florist's shop where a plant has to have blood and human bodies in order to thrive and grow. And grow it does. This particular play is not one I would have chosen to go to, but I would have been wrong. It was delightful and wonderful, the best play I've seen. The songs were great, I'm still wondering how the students memorized all the lyrics plus lines. I can't even remember to take food out of the oven or take the laundry out of the machine. Ah, youth! I did not see one mistake, and they were truly in character and amazing. The last picture is of our friend, Melinda, who designed and painted the sets. There was a standing ovation given at the end, and well deserved. I think God likes it when we clap our hands for Him, and fold them in prayer. He deserves not only a standing ovation, but our lives dedicated to him in thanks.
"Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity." Psalm 98:8,9

Oh how neat.... Glad you all went to that play. I'm sure the kids appreciated your attendance. I was always involved in theater --especially musicals, but my kids did their share of shows like you saw today. We were a big drama-comedy-loving family.
Have you ever been to an old-fashioned melodrama?? They are so much fun.... You get to boo and hiss!!!!
Hugs,

great photos Ginny. the only play i have attended was 30 years ago, Fiddler on he roof. My friend had 3 teens in it and it was a joy. I know this was fun.
I haven't seen that play but I've heard a lot about it. I'll think of you and musicals at our singing group this morning!
I saw that play a few years ago at our local theater. Fun.
Melinda did a great job of designing the set. Is she going to major in theater?
Did you see the link I posted for you about Ringling?
For some reason Blogger isn't uploading any pictures, so I'll have to come back to see them. But it sounds as if the students did a wonderful job on this play. I saw the movie many years ago.
I'm glad I came back to see the pictures. It looks like it was a wonderful production.
Looks like fun! I've seen the old movie. And I like the theatre - not been in a while now, but back in the 90's I went quite frequently to our town theatre.
That looks like it was fun, I haven't seen it as a play but I have seen two different movie versions. The set decorations are great. Someone did an excellent job on Audrey II.
