• Shivering, stomping snow from our boots, shaking snow from our hair, we have just returned from the theater, where Bri and Myra performed in the CYT "Play in a Day" -- from auditions to curtain-rise in just over 24 hours.

  last night:  Neither of the girls have been through auditions before.  They were nervous -- but you'd never know by looking.  Myra gathered her paperwork and queued for the 8-10 auditions alone, looking every bit like an old pro.  She grinned her way through measurements, smiled broadly at the portrait camera, and skipped along with her group to the audition room.  Bri had time to observe the kids in the room, "Looks like most of these kids aren't paying much attention to the behavior agreement we signed."  As the 11-13 kids filed toward / past the registration table, it was obvious that many of them are CYT regulars.

  Bri came back a bit deflated.  "They started the dance test with me, but I didn't even get the hang of the steps 'til they were halfway down the line."  We waited around

  I'd never seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, so though I could tell they'd only had a day to learn the songs, I was amused.  The Elvis Pharoah was the obvious star, but my girls shone.  Shiny, shiny.
