Taking the scene with the horse collar, we made friends into actors. I asked my 5 housemates if they were willing to participate and right before I finished I saw the grins and smiles on all of their faces! They were in and did a fantastic job. I never thought they cold put it together as great as they did and trust me, if you knew them, you wouldn't have either!
Our programing started around 1:15 in the afternoon as we waited for some of the children downstairs to finish their crafts and come up and join the festivities. We provided pizza for all the guests, giving them something to munch on during the skit.
Following the successful skit, we opened the floor to the audience. Many complemented our decision-making, as we used a male to play the role of the "Antonia" character, adding comedy and many laughs throughout.
We also had to make a quick audible during the performance as we found out our quilting demo had to be canceled due to a family emergency, yet we carried on and allowed our guests to walk around the library and notice the quilts we hung the previous day.
Overall, the presentation was great and the programing and preparation in the end blew me away. I couldn't believe with our busy and somewhat conflicting schedules how successful we actually made it! We had fun and met new friends, what more could you ask for!
