The King and I

While staying with the Jones, there was a community theater putting on a play for "The King and I". I was not interested, aware of the huge time consumer it would be. Finally the day of the tryouts I decided to give it a shot, Lori picked out the song "Just a Wayfaring Stranger" (Awesome song). I tried out and was chosen for a role as "The Khralahome". It was great to not only be in a play, but to learn a new skill alongside the Jones. I learned tons about acting, made some great friends, and enjoyed seeing crowd after crowd go away with teary eyes. It was also amazing to see the amount of behind the scenes work that went on for a production. Lori, Mrs. Jones, and Stacie worked endless hours on costumes and props. It was phenominal to see the actual amount of practice time that took place. Finally everything fell into place before the show times and everything ran smoothly!
