Oh no... they knew their lines (at least 85% of them)... but yesterday was a disaster. One little girl just kept looking at me and saying... "now I say this (rattled line off) and then I do this."

Don't tell me, do it. Next time it was her line same story. Don't tell me, do it.

Another little girl will do anything for attention, even if its negative...so her meltdown was more like "look at me." And my Hamlet is just nervous... But, nothing I can do for that except tell her she's wonderful. (and she is)

Because its a play within a play, some cast members use scripts. They couldn't even follow along...

It was a disaster! But, I slept like a log last night, so I must not be too worried. (have a headache though) I have had it a lot worse and the kids have come through beautifully.

I'm going to chalk it up to nerves.

And you are right... bad dress, good performance.

Riddle me this... why do I keep doing this to myself year after year...
