Emily has a theater class this year. She loves it so much that she joined the Drama Club and tried out for the fall play at school. She didn't get a part in the play (there were only 8 parts), but she did have the opportunity to run the light board for the play. She missed our Friday Halloween party because she was at play rehearsals.
The following Friday I attended the play. Right before the show began, Emily and several friends approached me. Apparently it is tradition to go to Denny's following the Friday show. However, some of the parents would not allow their children to go unless an adult was present....and they met the adult to confirm the adult really was going. Emily asked if I would go so she and her friends could attend the gathering.
What I didn't realize until later was that I would be the ONLY adult with a group of 25 high school thespians. They were excited to be together, to finish up the play, and to be out on a Friday night. And these kids are trained to project volume from the stage. They were extremely LOUD!! They were super nice, funny, good kids, but they were definitely loud. I went home with a splitting headache, but it was worth it. I am so glad Emily is making such great friends.
