Lights...Camera...Action
We did it! We (mostly I) survived the play! I haven’t seen the video yet, but from backstage I could hear nothing but positive responses from the audience. Their laughter was confirmation that we accomplished our goal which was to entertain the audience. I’m posting pictures along with a summary of the play written by one of my students.

Play Summary:
Her Majesty, Miss Jones is a hilarious comedy that takes place in the late 1940’s. Two average citizens, Ed and Alice Robinson live comfortable lives in the small town of Fernwood. However, Monica Marshall, the fabulous TV star, comes to shake things up a bit. Alice’s sister, Clara Jones, is staying with the Robinsons and is experiencing some relationship problems with her landlord, Mr. Higbee. Secretly working on the sidelines, Monica is trying to bring Mr. Higbee and Clara together. Young PFC Ken Robinson, who met Monica briefly at an army camp, has developed a slight crush on Miss Marshall. This makes Helen, Ken’s girlfriend and neighbor; take desperate measures to regain his affection. Ken eventually proposes to Monica, she refuses at first but then accepts hoping to “disillusion” him with her “celebrity” lifestyle hoping that he’d run back into Helen's arms. The confusing, but entertaining situation further develops when Tim Hayden, a reporter for the local newspaper, reports that Monica and Ken are engaged. Things really get interesting when Ken’s commanding officer, Captain Roberts, comes to town and hears that his secret spouse of two months, Monica Marshall, is engaged to another man.
Thanks again for all your prayers.
