gone with the breeze

tanaya, our talented and amazing actress, was in the play production 'gone with the breeze', an adorable take on the play 'gone with the wind' at which she obtained the lead role of daisy lou bowman.  she was the lead on monday, wednesday, & friday nights.  on tuesday, thursday, and saturday she played a variety of roles of which included a tourist, a camera man, a pageant girl, and a wann-be jezebelle o'toole.

she did such an amazing job and it was SO fun to see here play these parts and give each role such a different personality.

 here she is as a 'wanna-be jezebelle o'toole'
and here as a 'pageant girl' in which she had to pick an audience member to dance with. she picked the cute little guy :)
and my favorite! her as the lead - daisy lou bowman :)
she played the part to a "T".  the outfit she created, the accent, her mannerisms - we all had smiles on our faces watching her. she was pretty dang great!

her final night as the lead.  her whole extended family showed up in support of her. she is VERY loved!

saturday night was bittersweet for her and the crew. they celebrated a successful week but all cried that they were going their separate ways as some kids weren't planning on, or able to, come back next fall.  they all went to arctic circle to eat then sat on the lawn for hours just playing and making memories.  they planned get together's during the summer and exchanged phone numbers to stay in touch.  it was a really tight nit group of kids and they had so much fun together. it was a neat experience for tanaya and she can't wait until next fall!
