A Pageant News Story

Hunter had his first dress rehearsal last night. This news story is from another night where the press was allowed to come and take pictures. Hunter thought it was a great time, but was surprised at how long it took to get the makeup on (almost and hour!) and to take it off (It’s really thick and more like paint)!  Everyone backstage and the other cast members were all so nice, helpful, and friendly.

When everyone was in costume the set was put onstage, everyone took their positions, and I sat in the audience seats and watched them work on the lighting. Hunter held totally still for several minutes. Longer than he will have to on performance night, so it should be a breeze after that. After his group was done, Hunter and I watched them set and light a sculpture and another painting. It was a late night, but so fun!

Hunter’s first performance is July 6 and he will be on that whole week. He then works every other week for seven days at a time. I hope some of you can come see it!
