Summer Theater

Alright....so we've been a little busy. Jason and I spent 2 months in New Hampshire working at a summer stock theater called The Summer Theatre in Meredith Village. It was the first season for the theater and it was never dull!!! Sorry we've been so bad about the updating but I'm sure it'll get better now that we're back. What else is there to do in NYC?!


Before we left for the summer, we took a short trip to Arkansas to visit the new babies in our lives. This is Audrie Cornett, daughter of Jamie and Rachel. She was about 3 months old when we met her in May.

This was an artistic shot that Jason got of her when the sun was pouring through a window.


And this is Ben Burrow. He was born about 2 days before we got there. He is Jim and Emily's first child and our first nephew!!! We are already proud and planning the spoiling.


And now the summer. We were in Meredith, New Hampshire. It was situated on the west side of Lake Winnipesaukee. Such a beautiful backdrop for the summer. If it ever got hectic, and it often did, we could just look up and take in all that was before us. A great testimony.



This is one of the bed and breakfasts that overlooks the lake. Beautiful...gorgeous....wish you were here...


We had every other monday off and on our first one, we went to Boston for the day. These are our friends: Scott, Brittany, and Curtis. Brittany lived in Boston while she was at Emerson College and she introduced us to many of Boston's treasures including Indian Pudding. Delicious.


And of course, we had to have clam chowder (chowduh) in Boston....duh!




Here we are at one of the many sing alongs we would do late at night after shows were over. Jason plays the piano and everyone takes turns singing solos and duets. Some good, some very ridiculous. A great outlet!


The cast parties for all the shows were at a bar called "The Mug". Every time we were there it was Karaoke night and of course, we were all over it! Someone even put Jason's name in once and he had to sing. Jason doesn't do the Karaoke-haha!





Here's the cast for "Always...Patsy Cline", the first show of the season. It is a two person show but the band is onstage so they get to be in costume. Jason played the piano and sang onstage and Sam worked backstage.




And...the best part of the season. We did "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story". Jason played the Big Bopper and sang "Chantilly Lace". I snapped hundreds of pictures of course. Here are a couple of my favorites.






Stay tuned! More to follow!
