Last night was the rehearsal before our final performances Friday and Saturday night.  I use my old film-era manual focus 135mm f2.8 lens.    These will be my last shots of the play, but I hope to get a few backstage portraits with makeup this weekend.

I was hesitant to bring a camera last night; the rehearsal was without makeup and only minimal costumes were required and a few people couldn't make this rehearsal.  I decided it might be fun to see what I could get with my old film-era manual focus 85mm f2.0 lens.  The mood was relaxed last night; I was the most comfortable I've been all summer and probably did the smoothest job I've done yet.  Everyone seemed relaxed; probably too relaxed.

Then Greg Grimes (Ugly) decided to lighten things up and threw a huge rubber wrench into the works.  At the end of the play Ugly is transformed from an ugly duckling to a swan.  Last night Greg donned a white cape and tie revealed himself as a "Superswan".  Everyone lost it and from that point on all dialog had the word super and other superhero words ad-libbed in.  The cast was in hysterics; it was the most fun I've had with the play all summer, by far.  Here's a jump to the Superswan photos.

I think they would deep fry the water if they could figure out how...

(No, we did not order this but the person who did ended up in the restroom within five minutes; true story.)

Ah, the time has come. Our moment has arrived. The Tallmadge Dynamics production of Honk! begins this weekend, and the whole Hall family is participating. We sing, we dance, we act… who knew? On the whole, we have really enjoyed our summer thespian experiment. Who knows if the whole family will ever again grace the stage together, but no one can deny how great doing this as a family has been.

Here are pictures from Wednesday night’s dress rehearsal. Thanks to Leah McConnell for taking some of the final pictures when Joan and I were both on stage.  Note that there probably will not be more pictures because forthcoming because we will be in the show; it was a bit risky changing costumes for four characters, making eight appearances and sneaking photos in-between. 

And if I haven't said it yet, this is a really great show; it is very funny, has great songs and is well cast.  Please come see us!
