Acts - The Musical [2012]

i'm so thankful that i got to be apart of our church's drama production retelling the story of Acts. it really was a great experience, filled with much laughter and prayer, and the friendships that i have built from doing this show are awesome. so many godly, awesome people :)

{this post is for rachel, since she didn't get to come down and see it in person. bekah and i missed you! heart heart!!}

this is at an early on rehearsal...

we started working on this show at the beginning of the school year.

then at the end of april, we did four shows over two weekends.

 getting ready included lots of stage makeup and some fun and bright costumes.

 there were lots and lots of mics for all of the actors and actresses.

 after we were all dressed and made up, we'd sit around downstairs waiting to get called.

this is the front of the program.

... and the inside. my name is on the bottom.

i was a greek widow and a crowd member.

and here's rebekah's name in the program under "production assistants"!

she was a huge help to our stage manager.

the opening scene was filled with so much joy every time.

all the disciples praying for and baptizing the crowds who came out to hear them speak.

these next photos are from "Walk By Faith," taken from Acts chapter 3.

 the crippled man jumping and dancing.

i never realized how cool this song's choreography was until i was able to see the pictures! 

 Barnabas, the dashing heart throb, hugs one of the widows, while the rest look on shocked. haha!

 hahaha, we're not happy.

but it turns out they're cousins. so everything's good then.

 then we have another drama unfold between the widows...

based on Acts chapter 6, where the Greek widows aren't getting enough food.

we even got a little mini cat-fight goin' :)

then us cool uns went downstairs to chill during the intermission.

the asian philosopher in Athens, city full of idols.

and the finale. SO. GOOD.

after and during all of the shows, we took lots of pictures with lots of friends and family members.
haha, sorry there were hundreds taken so the ones i have here are mostly ones with me in them. haha!

 out in the lobby afterwards, a lot of little kids wanted to get our signatures. it was so cute!

bekah and i! oh yeah and cole... haha.

 on the last night, we had to take down the set and clean up everything.

as you can clearly see, we had so much energy. we were so glad to help.
we actually should have won an award for "most helpful."

it's been fun. :) miss hanging out with all my acts peeps every day!
