Beauty and the Beast

As I mentioned in my last post-sorry, it's been awhile-I had a part in our school production of Beauty and the Beast Jr this semester. We had our last performance last night and it was absolutely an incredible experience. God taught me so much about Himself, myself, and my other co-stars during the past four months so I just thought I'd share some of those lessons with you.

There is a good reason hoopskirts are not still in style.

Guys who can dance are attractive.

When your friend is stressed, give her a hug and tell her you're praying for her.

If you have to carry four ten-foot poles across a college campus, wear gloves.

Fire escapes have many other uses besides emergency exits.

Power tools are not as difficult to use as they look.

The trees used to be alive. Don't talk to them.

If you want to feel amazingly talented for doing virtually nothing, work with high schoolers.

Lipstick is disgusting.

Never let anyone near a camera when you are wearing a wig. Especially if you're a guy.

Do not take sitting down for granted.

Kicklines are a lot less exciting when you must make them conservative.

When a guy comes in and asks for a manly lipstick, make as many awkward comments as possible.

Don't create choreography that draws attention to the fact that you are not supposed to be dancing.

Guys look really weird in tights.

Liquid nitrogen is awesome.

Being a freshman does not guarantee being Townsperson 3.

First impressions are often wrong.

Smile while it happens, because you'll cry once it's over.

Finally, my favorite:
"It's not stupid, it's stage!"
