Joseph

I am right in the middle of this cast photo wearing a yellow shirt.

I just finished participating in my first musical at Willowcreek. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, but it was worth it. I even enjoyed the practices. Sometimes I took my uke to play before practice started to pass some time. I was Zebulon's wife. Zebulon was played by Yoshi who was Jo Jo in Seussical last year and is also Mr. Wiltbank's son (counselor at the school). When Brooke found out what my part was, she said, "Poor Yoshi can't get rid of us Morgan girls!" He is quite a bit shorter than me, but red headed too.

A crazy thing happened with my tryout. I did not make the callback list, but as I was leaving to go home the day of the callbacks, Mrs. Jennings, the drama teacher, grabbed me and told me she forgot to put me on the callback list and would like me to come that afternoon leaving me NO TIME to practice the song. I felt excited because there were only like six girls out of about 100 girls that made it on to the call back list. Good thing I had heard the music a few times before!


My favorite costume was my GO,GO costume. You can't see me very well here either, but I am toward the left side with nice black shiny leggings (like the Mama Mia ones).

I am happy the show is over, even though I had fun! Especially since I came down with Laryngitis closing night! Thanks to all of the people who came to see me in the show! I appreciate your support.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

So Allie and I decided that we wanted season tickets to the Hale Center Theatre in Orem for Christmas. Now, normally, the shows are mediocre at best. Occasionally a production will blow us away, but more regularly, we leave saying, "At least the costumes were good."

Last night, as my mom was incapacitated, and couldn't drive, Brandon was the lucky soul who got to drive me and Allie to the performance of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels". He decided that I, the most directionally challenged person of ALL TIME, would be the navigator. So I'm sitting there, reading the directions from Google maps, trying to get us to the theatre. Well, we get to Orem just fine. But I'm stating to think that just maybe, we're not going the right direction. Before long, we reach the exit to head to Provo Canyon. Okay, obviously we are not going the right direction. So we call my dad, trying to get directions. We're already about five minutes late for the show, and I'm starting to hyperventilate a little bit. Yes, I have issues with being lost, and not knowing how I'm going to get out. So eventually we make it to the theatre. Luckily, we could get right in, and we missed very little of the opening number.

This show was AMAZING. I laughed so much, the first thing I did when I got home was ran to the bathroom. This show was not only the epitomy of classiness, but it was extremely hilarious, and had a very good story line, and music. The actors were also extremely spectacular. Not a single one of them did I question why they were cast in the role they were.

I would highly recommend that if you have the time to go, to DO IT. Afterall, it is playing until March 23.
