Logan’s school put on a production of Guys and Dolls this past weekend.
Son Logan had a small part and even the guys with the small part have to get makeup.
Complete with the head tilted up and down and side to side. No complaining either. Or rather you can go ahead and complain but nobody is listening to you.
And then Mom ties your tie and makes sure that your shirt is tucked in.
It’s showtime!!
Your time on the stage kid!
And then the girls in the 1940’s style dresses show up and steal it away from you. That’s life kid.
And then we get more girls.
And then we get the Salvation Army. This is a Christian School production after all.
And then the guys come out. You know how guys are, sinning one minute.
Singing in church the next.
And then we get the dancing girls with the twirly dresses. There was a whole stage of them. Too many heads showed up on the photo so I cropped all but this one girl out. You get the idea. The dresses were sewn by the moms supervised by one who had a mathematical background who figured out a precise pattern for each girl (no I am not kidding.) You can tell she had the right equations. Pretty amazing the moms in this show. Without them, not much would have happened.
The kids gave it their all. They worked hard for weeks, and so did the moms and the teachers. It was exhausting.
The result was great.
Here is our gentle giant of a sun next to his Nana and Mom. Doesn’t he look great in a double breasted suit?
And then on to the afterparty, food, soft drinks, and a swimming pool. Nothing better than that for teenagers. A nice big firepit for making smores and then a big downpour showed up putting a damper on the smores until one of them grabbed a big table umbrella. That’s problem solving I think. What do you think.
They’ll be talking about this production for years.
Logan looks great in his period attire (I hope that wasn’t one of your old suits, Yogi). The production looks very professional. You gotta give thanks for parents and teachers who support kids in these endeavors.
adorable!
Priceless…..
‘that’s just the way it is through my eyes kid!”
I’ve always enjoyed the school productions and think it’s really great that Logan joins in these. Plus all the parents and teachers. He looks very handsome in that suit.
A wonderful production obviously and Logan does look amazing in that suit. Kids today are so sophisticated … so grownup. It’s amazing to me. You didn’t even mention any of the tunes, but I still have earworms from reading the post. (its OK I love the songs).
And I think even if a pagan school was putting on Guys and Dolls they’d still have the Salvation Army in it — its a pretty big plot point ;>))…..
Yep, the stuff of great memories!! How super you have photos of the production. Logan will appreciate that in 20 or 30 years…if he doesn’t already.
Mine were in this one, too. My youngest, who isn’t on Facebook, was Nathan. My actor son had a male lead. Not that they competed!!! You’ll refer to this forever!!!!
Looks like a great production with lots of pretty girls! Kudos to Logan for having a theatrical side and that suit is awesome. Jillian was in the orchestra for Guys and Dolls and her high school her senior year. It was in winter and it seemed to snow every day there was a performance. I didn’t want her driving in the snow so I went and watched every performance. I knew all the songs by the time it was finally over. Fun times!
