Isn't Reagan Christiana a precious angel???? I've been friends with her mom Angela since we were theatre majors at CSUN. I love Angela and Marcos's kids like my own. I was glad to know that my beard didn't scare her.   She recognized me anyway. And my mom held her the entire first half. She is very comfortable with Mom. She must still remember her. ;
Behold...uh...who are these people? Who did they play? Uh......lol....
Left: .the Dwarves with Bilbo (Jeremy, bottom right).  I'm the one between Jenna (the blonde) and Grace (the greybeard with the staff). Kudos to Shanna for taking the pic! :) (Do I look like a "manly man?" When I had asked if I were still pretty in my beard, Roey said I looked like a "manly man"......Hmph.)
Above: Erin (Hobbit girl), me, and Jenna (Dwalin)
Left and right are pics of our illustrious Assistant Director, Jenn, and her darling son Spencer. Spencer's dressed up in his Hobbit outfit (note outfit). I've known Jenn since CSUN....she was the only person I knew at the auditions and I'm glad she and her husband, our illustrious Director, Jymn, cast me. I don't remember ever planning on playing Bombur the fat one but hey, was it fun. I got beaten up and driven to exhaustion every show but....it was worth it. It was worth waiting since '86 (when I'd first read the book). Definitely.
Left: that's me and my friend Karen. Karen and I played sisters in *The King and I* in '96. We were the same height then, lol, but I still call her my "little sister" (I hope she doesn't mind; she hasn't told me..<g>).  I hadn't seen her in 2 years and when my mom told me at intermission that she was here, I was so freakin' happy.
Right: Amanda and me. I had to brighten it up a lot because the flash works on my digital camera sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't---funny isn't it? It'll be appearing at the Laugh Factory on Wednesday nights throughout November, and then at the Comedy Store in December....I digress...isn't that a good pic?
Above: Nikki, Jenna, Shanna, and Amanda (is that a great pic of all of them or what?)....Middle: Erin with 2 of the Dwarves, Josh and Brendan. Far right: my friend Jonathan and me on the last day......man oh man I was wondering when he was gonna show up...lol......don't I look tired? I was. lol. Btw my family brought me those roses, which are dead now.  I would've preferred cash. (Thanks a lot, family!!! Thanks for nothin''!!!!!! BLECCCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!)
Left and below:  Roey (Thorin), Jeremy (Bilbo) and me (Bombur).  For some reason, the Canyon Theatre Guild requires all Jews and those of Jewish Descent over the age of 12 in the cast to pose for a separate picture.  When I questioned it, they threatened to send me to the Jew Jail (aka Jail for Jews), whereupon I would finalize my childhood obsession with the story of Abraham and Sarah by manifesting their Similarities and DIfferences into a 20-page essay entitled "Abraham and Sarah: SImilarities and Differences: The Finalization of My Manifestation of My Childhood Obsession With the Story of Abraham and Sarah in a 20-Page Essay"---after which, we would all learn how to whittle our own walking sticks aka "staffs" and take turns roleplaying the baby Moses reed scene, with the choices of role-playing Miriam or the basket. I thought that was kinda odd. Ehhh.

See that guy standing behind me? That's Sam. He's only 5'2"! Man are we short or what.

Kudos to Jeremy's mom Claire for taking these pics!
Left: me and galpal Shanna...together, we're SHANNAnDONNA....hey that blends! Go us....<g>....Right: Grace and me....Grace is actually in real life the youngest Dwarf, but she played the Oldest of the Dwarves. She pulled it off; she's very talented. :)
Left: Jenna Jean and Donna Jean....;).......Right: me and Erin. Isn't she tiny? She's so small that I can pick her up and twirl her around in the air.
We didn't want to say bye at the party. (I love ya, little one...)
Above left:  5 of the "Dwarves:" Cassie, Jenna, Myles, Mikey, Jake, and Erin. Above right: : Jenna, Brendan, Erin, Shanna, Cristian and Josh. When we were in costume, castmates often mistook Josh for me, but after seeing this picture, I really don't wanna know why........lol.....

Right: those pics were taken for the paper, but I don't think they were used. Well they're being used here! Donnatopia does not discriminate against dwarves without hoods. (L to R: Grace, Amanda, Josh, Jeremy, Cassie, and me.)
