Dress Rehearsal - Annie

The girls had dress rehearsal for the play Annie on Monday night. My dad was nice enough to come and take pictures for us, since there isn't any flash photography allowed during the real performance.
Emily and Elisabeth are orphans. Emily is the red shirt sleeping on the floor at the right, and you can just see Elisabeth's hair on the right side of the platform (next to the kid on the steps).
Emily is just behind Elisabeth in this picture (red shirt).
Lelani is a servant in this scene, but her costume wasn't ready yet, so she is in her cabinet member suit instead (back on the platform in pink)
What a nicely dressed servant :)
They have entractes to entertain during the scenery/costume changes. Emily is in one called "Little Girls"

Elisabeth is in one called "Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile."

Leilani plays President Roosevelt's cabinet member, Perkins.
She gets to sing...
and speak several lines. She even gets a small solo. Nothing major, but she is happy!
Leilani is the maid standing next to the maid in the black dress. (Lani is wearing a necklace) She switches back and forth several times.
If you are interested in watching the play, the link below takes you to the ticket website. It is playing this weekend and next. The tickets this weekend are actually $2 cheaper, because they are doing the play at the studio. The next weekend is at the Wildish Theater in Springfield.

Man, I missed it! We were hoping to be able to make it to that, but I wasn't paying attention to the timing. I'm sure they did amazing!
