We made the news . . .

Did you happen to see our article in this Sunday's Tennessean? Click HERE to read it online!

I'm quoted on page 2, and the 5-year-old the author mentions is Judah!

The show opens this Friday, so I'm getting my hair dyed auburn on Wednesday, and I'll be trying on costumes tonight. So fun.

We spent the weekend building things (thank you, Dad and Uncle Charlie!!!), painting, and generally having fun sweating in the sun and heat with a bunch of hilarious theater people. It was fabulous!

Hope you can make it to one of the performances. Remember, you have six to choose from!

Friday, July 31
Saturday, August 1
Sunday, August 2
or
Friday, August 7
Saturday, August 8
Sunday, August 9

Shows start at 7:30 each night, tickets are $10, and seats can be reserved by calling (615) 364-5199 or e-mailing scott@oracleproductions.org.

Hope to see you there!

Judah and Lori take the stage--next weekend!

You know how Judah and I auditioned for a play a few months ago? Well, not only did we both land roles, but we're now getting ready to start the show! The play opens in a week and a half on July 31, which is a Friday night.

You'll have six performances to choose from:

Friday, July 31
Saturday, August 1
Sunday, Augsut 2

and

Friday, August 7
Saturday, August 8
Sunday, August 9

The show starts at 7:30 PM sharp, and tickets are $10 each. Group rates are available. To reserve seats, call Oracle Productions at (615) 364-5199 or e-mail scott@oracleproductions.org.

Come out and see Judah in his first stage production and Lori as Morgan Le Fay, the wicked Queen Morgana. This is our first play together, and it's going to be worth your time--we promise!

Where is it? Glad you asked. Lipscomb University's Shamblin Theatre, 3901 Granny White Pike, Nashville, TN (across the street and large parking lot from Pizza Perfect, Copper Kettle, laundromat, bookstore, and Mexican restaurant). Take I-65 to Wedgewood and head away from the fairgrounds, toward 8th Ave. Hang a left on 12th, which turns into Granny White. Immediately past the light at the little row of shops on your left, turn right into the parking lot and head into the University Center (first building on your right). The theater is tucked away in a corner, past all the places to eat, near the restrooms. If you get turned around, you can call or text my cell (615) 496-8079. Hopefully, I'll hear it!

See you next weekend or the second weekend in August!

Judah and Miriam recite Judah's lines

Miriam has heard Judah practice his lines so many times that she can now deliver them with ease--usually while running--as demonstrated in this video:

If that doesn't entice you to come see us in Mirror, Mirror, then check out this little video from Judah. This is a little picture of what he says to nearly everyone he meets.

VOTE for Jonathan Frank!

We have a close friend (Jonathan Frank) who is auditioning for a year-long contract with a local television station in Virginia to be their new "Face of Fox 43." To vote for him, all you have to do is watch his funny two-minute video audition all the way to the end. I recommend watching it twice so you can read the captions the second time.

If you have the time and the desire, open up several tabs, play the video in each one (on mute, of course!), and then start the video all over again as many times as you're able. We'd love to see him win this contest!

First-round voting ends at midnight on Sunday, July 19, 2009.
Vote often!
Tell your friends!
Help Jonathan win!!!

Judah Quote of the Day

Overheard on the steps, spoken by Judah to Miriam: "I'm wounded, Miriam. Do you know what wounded is? It's a boy way of saying I have a boo-boo."
