Dickens' overload, I know. Of course, a scan never captures the details of an original...but I want to include these journal pages done by each girl. Their views of the practicing and performing.
Meg was certain to include the order of kids on her bench, the buildings time was spent in, the reality that hair covers their faces when bowing, and her patched costume. Had to have a patch because that is "probably what a 'real orphan' would have."

Paige was sure to include the actions, the props, the bright lights, the fact that they sing the "old, old food song that we sang lots of times," and that there are "tons and tons of people." LOVE her depiction of the heads turned backwards at an awkwardly perfect angle to watch the approaching orphans!
Many have asked if the girls are enjoying it/how they are doing with the shows. They have each had their days of being exhausted. Paige might reply with a blunt, "No!" if asked if she likes doing the Orphan show. "I am just too tired when we have to bow. I don't like doing that part." Three more nights of performing remain for this coming weekend. But, long schedule aside, they have also each had their days of loving it. It has been a good experience. Obviously given them a chance to learn through practicing, a place to perform, and a story to describe.
