Finally an update

Hey Everyone...

I am finally getting a chance to update this thing and really actually tell you some stuff.

If you couldn't tell this year it is REALLY busy...after the little suprise of being made AD of the Playhouse (theatre) things really amped up which is fair enough, there is soooooo much talent here that needs to be shared and given out and I just want to make all the little monsters (kids-its like lady Gaga calls her monsters with affection)

What has been happening?

We have finished Orientation, obviously and it was really awesome this year, we were doing things that the campers were doing and just a whole lot of fun things. And I even wrote the opening of Orientation for the owners of the camp which went down a treat. Lots of highlights but one of them so far has to be the talent show. It was a blast, it was just for counsellors during orientation so I got to be the cheeky normal person I am and really live it up. People loved it and people commented on the different style which I had... Maybe there is a career in stand-up comedy for me... I doubt it.

Sing still happens every morning and by far it is bigger and louder than last year, may have something to do with there being more kids or just counsellors who love to belt out anything they possibly want at 9am in the morning...! 7:30am wake ups are still a real challenge everyday especially when you have to be up BEFORE the kids but that is something that you do get use to, even if it be slowly.

We started the 13/14's show rehearsals the other day with Auditions and it is going to be an amzing show for them. With lots of kids able to belt, hit really high notes and some really talented dancers I am looking forward to seeing it. I am designing it so that is something a little different for me to be doing but again, have to make it the best I possibly can.

We also began the TWO lower camp shows which I wrote for them. One is based around the universal theme of LOVE and the other is based around Superheroes and Supervillians. Both of the age groups are loving getting to be silly, weird, in love and be something that they are not. The younger kids are by far my favourite and again, so very, very talented.

Glee also started this week and what they say is true, this show has changed the way kids see and look at theatre and singing. They are really keen to get up, dance, sing and just be themselves now... more than ever!

We have had one day off so far which was great, went to chill out in Holyoake, spent over an hour in the APPLE store, then we went to Toy Story 3 and yes, yes, yes I cried, we all cried... we laughed at us crying but yes, we did cry.

And finally, just to make you all Jealous today is the FIRST DAY since I got here where you needed something more than a tshirt and shorts for the first part of the morning!! It is beautiful, no rain (except a little at night) and gorgeous SUN, SUN, SUN every single day!

Still miss ya all, you always do, no matter how many times you do this you just can't help it. But this year is bigger, brighter and just a total blast...

Can you catch the Magic?
