Adelaide's Lament

One of the things I really look forward to every year, are the spring musicals that the local schools in our area stage. The level of talent, both on stage and in the orchestra, never ceases to amaze me. One of the amazing things to me is that the quality of the shows seem to increase year after year, even though many times the core of the previous years cast may graduate or move on to a new school.

One of the nicest benefits that come from this type of photography are the friendships I've made through the years, with the kids that I've photographed. They truly do have a way of keeping my heart and mind youthful, and their acceptance of the "old guy with all the cameras", through the years, has been wonderful.

Here's the first of a few videos that I'm going to post from State High's musical "Guys and Dolls" This video features Rebekah Sharp, in the role of Adelaide, as she laments her relationship with her longtime finance, Nathan, and the ill effects it seems to have on her health.

Bekah won the 2010 Isaac Award for "Best Actress" for this role, and this was her signature song from the show...enjoy!!
