Peter Pan at Southridge

Nana
The pirates and Capt. Hook

Lexi with Peter Pan

Sammi was on the tech crew the whole play, hours of practice and learning how to control the riggings for the flying scenes. She was really excited to be such a big part of the production. She does not like being in front of the stage and is completely happy doing all of the work behind.

We took Lexi to the play, her first time at one and she loved it. The picture above is her holding a handful of "pixie dust" given to her from Peter Pan. She got to be a part of the play as well. The pirates and indians came out into the audience and hid behind them sat beside them and whooped and hollered throughout the play. Lexi was sitting watching all of the movement and had a pirate scoop her up, put his hat on her head and hand her his sword. He was hiding behind her. Initially she seemed a bit freaked out and then started to giggle and smile the whole time.
She even went so far as to stop clapping when Tinker Bell's light was going out because the pirates said "No clapping" while the indians and lost boys were getting everyone to clap her back to life. When I asked her why she wasn't clapping she said, "because I like the pirates MORE!"

It was priceless and so much fun to see it through her eyes!
