Jessica's Holocaust Theatrical Performance

Before going any further, I should probably come clean and be honest with you - the reader/experience-er.  I pulled the video I took for Jessica's class performance of Kids of the Holocaust.  Whoops... there's another lie - I don't really know the name of the play they did, but it was about Jewish kids trying to survive the Holocaust.  It was based on actual diaries and journals found at the concentration camps.  As you can imagine, there weren't very many laughs to be found in this performance.  It was VERY EMOTIONAL... just ask my wife or her sister as both were crying when the curtain came down at the end of the show.

As I was saying... I pulled the video from the performance and realized that I managed to record the entire play in a "single take."  For those of you not in the Movie Industry, "single take," means the entire 20-min play was done without ever stopping the recording.  My cinematography exponentially adds to the emotional intensity of the play... But there's a price for that intensity.  The price is a 100GB MPG file, a size that appears far too daunting for this free BLOG to handle.

So, despite the title, this entry won't have, "Jessica's Holocaust Theatrical Performance."  Instead, I've pulled from the Daniels Family video archive a take of Stephanie getting ready for her 3rd grade, "Fairy Tale Recreation," play.  Here you go... feel free to comment on her costume being the CUTEST EVER.  Also, as expected, Jacob played the role of the Prince.


Yup, very cute.
