Oh, and We Actually USED the Masks

So you followed (i'm sure) the epic process of making our masks, and here is proof that we did something with them:

We did a show! With costumes and wigs and everything! (well, there was some wig difficulty during this dress rehearsal...)

Each of us chose one of our ancestors to research, then developed a character based on them.

Then we (and our ancestors) did stuff! Like dancing,

And making music

and, of course, telling stories. This, here, is Paw Paw, who liked to sleep like he was dead!

Here's Glenn, and his not-so-happily-married wife. Be careful of water-related appliances with faulty wiring...

Jared and Mel, masks by Jared and Sophie

Also be careful where you sit in Christine's living room. And how you treat the radio.

And if you go on a long journey, pack snacks.

There were plenty of intimate moments,

Sentimental songs,

Tears,

Renia, Mickey in Scotty's mask

And tension.

Finding the right words,

Finding the right balance,

Mickey and I, each wearing our own masks. Later, a blond bombshell wig was involved.

And (not) finding the right light.

And finally, a family portrait...

Polaroid style, obvi.
