Fiddler on the Roof

So.....I'M IN!!!!!!!!! They asked me to play Chava. I'm really, really excited! Not only am I young, but I'm the youngest one who sings "Matchmaker." I'm also the one who marries the Christian/Russian and is disowned by her father. I get to be really emotional. I'm sooooo excited!!!!! The music director called me and asked if I would play Chava and when I said yes he told me that they had a really hard time deciding which daughter I was going to play. They knew I was going to play one of them, it was just a matter of which daughter they needed me to play more. So dancing took over...though I still get to sing, but not have a singing solo as I would if I had been Hodel. But I'm fine with Chava because I get to basically cry on stage. I get to yell at my father. I get to be yelled at by my father. I get to marry outside of my religion, therefor being disowned by my father. My favorite....I'm not an old/snobby/rich person! The list goes on...

In other news, I am almost a certified scuba diver. All that is left is the open water exam. We won't get to that until it is warmer...aka like late May/early June. But all of us passed the written and pool exams. So yeah. The instructors said that we were their favorite class so far. They think it was becasue of the number of kids and that we made things easy because we caught on quickly. I can't wait to become certified!

So now that I'm in Fiddler, rehearsals are going to be fun. I get to drive 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back every Sunday-Thursday from 7-10 PM...ok so I won't have to be there all the time, but a lot of it since I am a principal. I think I'll definitely make-up all of the driving time I didn't do these past 2 quarters. I'll definitely get a lot of miles in. And eat up a lot of money buying gas. Oh yay.But hey, I'll be really good at pumping my own gas so when I come home I'll be really confused :)

You should all buy plane tickets and fly out to see me. Performances are April 20-May 12...Friday/Saturday at 8:00 PM and Sunday at 2:00 PM. Be there or feel the wrath of Crystal!!!! Ok, you won't feel my wrath because I like you too much, but I'd love to see you!

13 days.....

Lots of Love.
