Savannah, as her Pentacle name tag says, is the House Manager-ett. She is six years old and the daughter of the main House Manager. Savannah begs her dad to take her with him when he comes out to the theatre so she's been there several times now and has seen the show twice. She's a fun kid and really hams things up. Her favorite part of the show is Jacie's line near the end, "Leave em' laughing folks!" and she'll even do the body movement with when she says it.
Cheryl, who is really good with her, was helping Savannah with her hair and talking with her about acting. Kneeling down to her level, she confided in Savannah something about acting someone had once had told her. She explained how a catipillar becomes a butterfly and that, "You can only become a butterfly when you want to become a butterfly more than you want to stay a catipillar." I thought that was really profound and I'll be ruminating on it for a long time to come.
Here are some more pictures from the dressing room. Tomorrow is closing night!
I do Benny's makeup every night. The time it takes has become one of our favorite part of the evening.
