For those of you who do not know, I’m in a play with our local children’s theater.  The play is The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, from the Chronicles of Narnia series.  I don’t have a big part in this play, but I really enjoy being able to be in it at all.  Some of my best friends have major parts in the play, and it’s fun interacting with them as your character.  Another thing I have noticed it that almost all the “big” parts are played by home-schoolers, which makes sense, because most of ‘normal’ schooled kids wouldn’t have enough time to really have a large part.  Here are a few pictures of Thursday’s practice:

The actors who play Peter, Edmund and Lucy are home-schooled.  "Susan", who I went to kindergarten with, goes to a private school.

Three more home-schoolers; Mr. Tumnus, Mr. Beaver and Mrs. Beaver

My camera isn’t that good…so some of pictures are blurry and it is probably hard to follow the video. It is of Peter fighting with Feneris Ulf.  The actors didn’t fight quite as well as normal, but I still think the fight was really good. 

What is really neat about this play, is all the fighting scenes (about 3 or 4).  We even have a fighting instructor, who has taught us a whole lot; how to fall :), who to play fight (big difference between play fighting and real fighting) a swipe sequence, and so many things it would take a page to type it all.
