Finally a new post

I apologize, it feels like it has been ages since I have posted. Probably because Matt and I have been so stinkin busy! About a week and a half ago we had the national tour of Peter Pan through.only had them for a day but we wished we could have had them for a month! What a great great crew. The cast left a bit to be desired.... but they weren't horrible. Here is a picture of my favorite character, Tiger Lily... she was insanly talented. She was also the understudy for Peter, so here is what she looks like as Peter. The gal that actually played Peter was an interesting character, uncannily reminded us a bit of Fran Drescher from the Nanny. Watching them try and fly her was really humorous. she obviously has a harness on and there is a man just off stage that controls how high she flies and how fast. Another crew man controls her moving side to side. Well the guy who made her go up and down would climb to the top of a 12 foot ladder and literally jump off to get her up as high as she needed to be. Fun show though. We also just opened a new show at Boise Contemporary Theatre called the Pillowman. Very interesting, very disturbing play. If you are into dark literature I recommend you read it, if not, stay away!! Very well acted, and really kept you in the story, left you thinking.
Another project we just finished was a set build for Opera Idahos next production, Elixer of Love. Through our blood sweat and nearly tears (no joking) we finished it in four days. Whew! Here is a picture of what it looks like assembled on stage, albeit naked.

As a great end to a slightly miserable week, we have the comedian, Jeff Dunham on Thursday. What a great, talented comedian. Not neccesarily the cleanest of comedians but enjoyable none the less. He is a ventrilaquist (SP) and makes all his own puppets by hand. It takes him about 6 months to finish a head and for those who are familiar with his work, his character Achmed was made out of a Halloween decoration!! Very talented individual.

Sorry for the lack of pictures of us and our family. We have been so busy that we haven't gotten around to taking any. I do have a very cute picture of Piper on our picnic table in the back yard amongst the snow. We had SOOO much snow fall on us the past few weeks its insane. We haven't had this much snow in the valley in about 15 years!!!
