The ever-present laundry basket is how all of the kids keep track of their personal belongings once they move into the theater. This is why several of our laundry baskets have faded versions of Cara's and Emily's names written on them in magic marker.
Each production brings with it new faces and new friends - as well as the chance to see old friends again. After the production party at the end of the run there is always a lot of hugging, sometimes a few tears, the exchanging of cell numbers and email addresses, and the inevitable knowledge that the coming week will bring a let-down of sorts. This picture is Emily's "Brainiac" costume. It also included a dark blue plaid skirt.
This is Emily's costume for the finale - "We're All in this Together". Everyone was in something red. I always enjoy being part of the back stage crew. I'm an amazing set mover! Unfortunately for this production the director didn't want us hidden and dressed in all black - he had us dress as janitors and they left the lights up for most of the scene changes. This link has a great article about the production from a local community newspaper.
