Our co-op put on another MCT play this spring.  This year’s play was Sleeping Beauty in which Nathan was an “angry caterpillar.”  He’s not in the photo below, but I wanted to post a picture of Sleeping Beauty, the King and Queen, and other supporting cast members.

I didn’t take very many pictures this year and now I realize how that happened.  Normally, I play the piano for the MCT (I think I’ve played for 12 or 15 now) productions and I’ll get a chance to take a lot of photos during the rehearsals.  This year, however, I decided to take a break from playing and therefore ended up with many fewer pictures.  Here are a handful of the ones I took:

Here’s Nathan thinking contemplatively about something while waiting for his makeup:

One of his friends raising her hand during a quiet guessing game they play during makeup time:

Here’s one of our friends who was the head Troll:

Makeup time for the Queen

and makeup for the Evil Scarella… a couple of the co-op moms were assigned makeup duty:

I thought the makeup for the Sleeping Beauty’s dog was particularly good!

And, here’s another caterpillar – one of Nathan’s friends whom you’ve probably seen on the blog before:

Here’s another picture of the Troll… We laughed hysterically at his actions!

Here’s Nathan practicing a few of his facial expressions:  First, happy caterpillar….

then angry caterpillar:

At the end of the play, Nathan looked a little worried since he didn’t know where we were sitting….

and then he spotted us!

I can’t wait until next year’s play!  They are always SO CUTE!  We’ve been participating in these plays for about 16 years now.
