Two Pigs, a Wolf, and a Mud Pie

What fun Ryley’s school play was! There are so many GREAT pictures, so I am just going to post a lot of them. :-)

Pre-Production:

The play was held at an outdoor amphitheater down the street from the school. It was a beautiful location with a gorgeous view of the mountains in the distance. But of course, thunder storms started rolling in….

The play was a fairy tale spoof, and Ryley played Snow White.

Ryley and her two best friends…

So this was an interesting situation. The boy playing the prince was a recent addition to the cast since the original kid couldn’t fulfill his obligation. The prince had lines only with Cinderella, not with Snow White.

While we were waiting for the play to begin, he said to Ryley, “Why can’t YOU be Cinderella? I don’t want to marry HER.”

Of course, there was all kinds of giggling in response, and the prince then pulled out his sword to show it off, while Ryley reacted with more giggles and taunting and, ahem, flirting.

It was amusing watching the interactions, and having a front row seat for it! Haha. :-)

This whole pre-production thing was more interesting than the play itself! :-)

Then the winds blew in, and the set blew away! The whole cast ran after the pieces of the set, and then Ryley had a new responsibility….to help hold it down!

Love that picture!

The teachers just shrugged and laughed, and the show went on!

Production:

That’s a pig and the big bad wolf! They’re the narrators!

The pig’s two brothers were on a mission to find their missing brother (seen above). They thought he may have been eaten by the wolf.

Their journey took them to Hansel and Gretl….

and then to the lovely Snow White’s cottage…

And then to Cinderella’s castle where random fairy tale characters danced in the background at the ball…

Finally, the pigs returned home to find that their brother was safe after all, and the wolf was friendly, so there was no reason for them to have been afraid in the first place! Go figure!

And everyone lived happily ever after!

As we loaded Snow White and our chairs into the van, the first rain drops hit our windshield. Perfect timing.

And that’s a wrap!
