WOW it's been awhile!

Ok, gang here is a small update from the past month. It's been kind of hard to get online these past days. The negative world we live in is just too much. And sadly it's not going to get any better leading up to November. First up the BLM movement. 

Even our small town was affected by the ugly turn of events. We had threats directed at us and with a store full of windows we had to take action. The whole town closed early boarded up windows and went home for the day. Thankfully nothing came of this and we went back to work the next day. Today we have a protest that has the town a little uneasy as Blue Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter plan on getting together on opposites sides of the street.  We sure hope it stays peaceful.

Now a little bit of good news we became God Parents once again! Though we had to stay home for the actual blessing we did get to finally meet baby Elli. 

Ok Ok stand back for this big update well two of them to be exact!! My oldest has begun her driving journey. She worked hard to ace the class during these remote learning days of summer! And believe it or not her first road time went pretty smoothly. We went out to the college parking lot for a few hours driving in circles. She starts instructor lead driving classes on the road this week and she will do just fine. And with that, this girl went out and got herself...

... a job! Look out world there is no stopping her! Both girls were chosen to be young ambassadors for Stage 212's virtual summer camp. Sadly 212 canceled all of there shows for the season and we patiently wait to see if Elf will happen this fall. 

And of course, the biggest thing to happen this summer, Hamilton! We made it a party that night and the girls have watched it numerous times this week. I love it such a great show kind of bummed I did not see it on stage, and to say we did not have the surround sound jamming we ended up blowing out a speaker. 

I did get some good movie viewing in last month and plan on posting those this week. I sure hope everyone is staying safe! And let us not make the wearing mask's political and more polite! Please wear a mask for the sake of the clerk behind the counter trying to help you while your breathing on them 😁!

Disney Family Singalong

So how many of you tuned into The Disney Family Singalong last night? One of the best things to come out this COVID-19 stay at home fun has to be how performers have done there best to have fun with all of us. And Disney has been fantastic throughout all of this. The Disney Family Singalong features many celebrities performing Disney classics from their homes, including Donny Osmond. Some of the performances were downright perfect.

This special was something happy to look forward to for kids and adults alike during the coronavirus outbreak. As celebrities sing Disney songs, an animated character guides us through the on-screen lyrics, so you can sing along with your family!

Sadly Donny was our favorite part and his video was not uploaded to YouTube. I found it fascinating that Twitter blew up with so many people who forgot he was the singing voice of Shang in Mulan. He is such a treat! So the question for you who was your favorite if you tuned in? 

It's the Story of Buddy The Elf!

Son of a nutcracker I missed Creepmas! And sad to say I'm ok with it as we just finished up a musical called Elf! and it was a huge success. Here are a few photos I can share with you.

My jolly little elf.

My wife and I did tech so the view from backstage can get a little creepy.

Getting ready for the big scene change we literally had 17 seconds to tear down Macy's and put out the apartment. So many close calls so so many! 

Everybody is on stage in front of the curtain signing so I stopped my child for a selfie. 

Getting Santa's sleigh ready for take-off.

Over on my tube page, you will find Buddy reading to the kids. Leave it to mine who are big fans of the library and Buddy to get in line for a photo. 

Here is a small look from Backstage you can really see Ella but sadly when Lainey was on the stage I was moving something in the back. 

Santa was a hit as well. Elf will go on to be the second highest-grossing musical at the collage topping well over the 30,000 maks. The closing day brought in 422 people! it was a blast running around backstage but I also stinks not seeing your kids on stage together. Thankfully a video as surfaced so we at least get to see that much.

Now on to Nunsense and Wizzard of Oz Ella sure knows how to keep busy! 

Ok I have more to post soon I hope including the backstage footage!
