PCA Presents Steel Magnolias Pre-Show Party


So, this semester I have the honor and privilege of getting to work with Layla Tenney, the director of Prescott Center for the Arts' production of Steel Magnolias. Instead of working with lights (as you know I've done from my past productions) I'll get a whole new point of view working Backstage! I can't show you the whole show yet (movie to follow) However, I can give you an idea of the AWESOME People I get to work with at PCA. Here are some pictures from our party.



Here are some candids. Some people knew their photo was being taken...some didn't.



Here's some of the "stuff" from the party, like the menu, and the decorations-in "blush and bashful." HER COLORS ARE PINK AND PINK





A Perfect Example of someone taking a picture, not realizing someone else is taking a picture




This was the whole point of the party was to watch the movie, which is based off of our play

You can see Clairee there at the end, Anelle, Karen (backstage), M'Lynn (I think, I can't quite make her out), and Ouiser Boudreaux



Everyone just sitting and talking in our new Tshirts



 Me in my New Tshirt. The back says "I SLAPPED OUISER 

Boudreaux"




This is my absolute FAVORITE photo of the whole party. I don't care what anyone says.







OOPS! I wasn't supposed to show you this one yet. Consider it a sneak peak!
Hope you've enjoyed a sneak peak at Prescott Center for the Arts' Production of Steel Magnolias.
Our shows are april 9-12, at 7PM, Saturday and Sunday also at 2PM, and repeated the 18-20. Hope to See You There

STEM Exploration Day-The Rockets, The Gliders, and the Egg Drop











GLIDERS









OK, So as soon as you walk in, there's a bunch of kids throwing things seemingly every which way. These were gliders made from wooden kits (or self-designed crafts in some cases),  there was a runway (designated by caution tape, a great choice of warning if you ask me). But if that many planes swerved off the runway at a real airport I think ATC Investigators would be asking questions.




EGG DROPPINGS


So once you get past the airplanes flying at you, just hope that you don't end up with Egg on your face! Kids wrapped eggs in scotch tape, plastic bags, popsicle sticks, anything they thought might work and hoped to take their whole egg to the top tier and watch it drop-safely-to the ground. Not everyone was succesful








Rocket Movers, Shakers, and Launchers!


 Here we see our young Aerospace Engineers in the Design Phase of the Paper Rocket making process

Then came the fun part, we went out to the Lower Fields and LAUNCHED THEM!!!


HAHA got the rocket in this one!!!




At the VERY VERY top I captured this one during launch!

This one is hanging horizontal, making a nice arc,
right near the top of the photo, did you catch it?
