Wagon Wheels west!

On Thursday I had the opportunity to perform for my very first time on a BYU stage. It was a student directed piece and not that big of a production, but still it was a performance at BYU and I had the best time ever performing! The production was a western musical melodrama. I played the role of "cookie" I was the handmaid for the star Senorita Juanita Fandango. My character was a bit ditzy and awkward so I had a lot of fun playing with the role.
This also made me realize that I can act, I can do this. It's so easy to get lost in the crowd at BYU and think that everyone is so much better than me. True, there are a lot of talented people at this school, but I bring something unique and I was really grateful for the opportunity to show that.

The musical showed 3 times on Thursday and on our last performance the theater was the most packed they said that they have ever seen for a Mask club (that's what the student directed plays are called) They didn't have enough seats for everyone and people were sitting on the aisles. Here are some pictures of the production and I uploaded a short video of a part of it too for you all to see:

This is Kate or known on stage as Sue Flay(she was the evil accomplice) Kate and I have become good friends because of this play, if I wasn't going on a mission I would be rooming with her next year for sure!While Senorita danced I lip sang being her and awkwardly danced, there were a lot of laughs from the audience, mostly from my roommates though :)So below is the video of our ending song--to explain my character is constantly trying to imitate Senorita Fandango and that's why I look so awkward
