Okay, so I pretty much completely forgot about this site but, because of seeing some other blogs, I think I'm going to get it up and running again. There's been lots and lots of theatre stuff happening over the last four years or so, so I'm going to try back tracking and bringing you up to date. So, stay tuned... lots and lots more to come!

Hey everyone!
Sorry it has been ages since I've been on here - things were pretty hectic over the winter. Plus my Internet crashed at home, so I rarely have had the opportunity to post other than here at work. But I intend on getting a new computer and high speed this summer, so hopefully with that and more time on my hands I'll be able to do some major posting!
Things are slowly winding down here. I have a week left. I'm starting to pack this weekend - yipee!! All in all, it has been a great year, but I'm in much need of the summer break.
I'm going to post some pics from our performance of "Cumberland" at the provincial drama festival in Grand Falls back in May. These pics were taken by a reporter by the name of Jenn Pelley, who also wrote the article about us for "The Advertiser."
Hope you enjoy, and I hope everyone is doing well... Please check back in the weeks to come over summer... Later...

The Opening...

Pushing the envelope...

"Fixing" him by way of conforming...

Ahhh.... the trees!....

The bribe....

"You're surprised I'm pissed?!..."

"'m not gonna hurt you..."

The look of love...

"I do care about you!"

"I don't think it has to be like this..."

Snowfamily and Newspapers
Hello again everyone. I just sifted through a few more pics from earlier in the year on the computer here at school. They aren't overly exciting, but it's something I guess.
Things have been EXTREMELY busy with drama and all my courses. Just trying to get everything completed by June is a feat in itself. Stress has become a regular part of life. Thankfully we had a snow day yesterday and I got to catch up on some sleep.
I was suppose to go to Corner Brook with my students (grades 8, 9) this weekend for the annual Bridge Building Competition, but it looks like the weather isn't going to be great, so we had to cancel. I know the kids are going to be dissapointed, but it looks like we are still going to be able to test their bridges later in the year, they just won't be part of the competition. Too bad, but safety on the roads is WAY more important, especially where children are involved.
OK, here are the pics. Hope you enjoy.
