Nervous, and ready, for the FINAL show!!! Clarissa, near center Alyssa, above her and left Sam, front right corner!

THIS POST IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION: I will continue to post videos...as I have moments to let them upload...thanks for the appreciation...it is taking time, but worth it to be able to share with those who want to see them...LOVE, me.


Why does it take so long to UPLOAD videos....arrrggggghhhh?



Friday night:
Over the course of the evening I will be posting parts of the play...for now I have to go play VIDEO GAMES with Gavin. He said he would blog 15 minutes with me for every 15 minutes I play with him. I think it is a deal...so...here is just a taste of the big event...

Gary Stoddard, Writer and Director

...make sure you notice
the LOOK Sam gives to Gary [at second 20...] in the video below,

it is subtle if you aren't looking for it.


Gary PROMISED that he would make sure Sam's microphone was on right away, and didn't get it as immediately as Sam began the play...Sam had to give him a LOOK, this is drama, isn't it?

I talked to Gary after the play...
he and I laughed at Sam's irritation.
becoming a professional actor that he is
he expects perfection by the third performance.
so funny!

For another video of Sam
from the parent performance
the night before,
CLICK HERE,
or scroll down to Sam...
The parent performance one is great,
keep in mind,
I had given him a spoonful of brown sugar
to ward off any fret about the show,
and to make it fun for him.
He thought that was the greatest thing!



This next video's are actually
before Sam's part above.
Gary is the writer and director,
he explains a bit about the show
to the audience.

Then Gary ran over to his post,
...to turn on Sam's microphone,
but didn't get there quick enough.
Sam, gave the look,
and then forgave...and had a great show!

this video [above] is from Fridays day performance

and below was from the TH night parent show:



then Sam... followed by the announcer
bringing on the stars...

I am a Star....
I am a Star in my life...
I play an active part in my life...
I choose the leading role!

click on the song above
to take you to the video...
or scroll down the ...I am a Star....
to watch the kids sing and dance


The announcer comes out and he says to the audience:

talking about his wings: Oh, the wings. It's part of the imagination process. Part of getting above it and letting yourself fly...they just show up, especially when I begin to dream and believe in myself. then: What if...what if your options were endless...lets say you had no limits...no boundaries and you truly believed in the part of you that says I CAN and you could freely let go of that little voice that says I CAN'T. Then...what could you imagine....just a thought.

The Dream Weavers

and the boy... boy: Everyone else seems to be cool, have a dream...and idea...a goal...and a path to get there all figured out. They seem...ok, with who they are and don't seem to worry about what the other kids think of them. Then there's me.....

[The Dream Weavers come down to help the boy while he is sleeping to dream to believe in himself.]



"You know our motto...Anything can happen in your dreams!"


Then the Dream Weavers say: Well, I think anything can happen when you dream and believe in yourself...But he seems so lost...so unsure....Hey!, ...Don't you think we could help a little this time?

Then they say together the Dream Weaver Code. That is except for the littlest Dream Weaver, who wants to help the boy...and do something more...she pretends to put her hand over her heart and does the whole yada yada thing during the entire code: "As an official Dream Weaver, I will never interfere with the dream creations of the dreamer. I may only assist in making the experience more believable in Oscar winning cinematography."

When the little dream weaver asks if they can fudge a little, the other two say:

UNACCEPTABLE
UNPRECEDENTED
UNTHINKABLE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The little dream weaver ways are pointed out to her: You never do things by the book, you always have to find a new way, a better way to do it...we have our code, our pledge....the same ways we have always done it...

Then...the little boy is off to bed...his mother says good night:

Boy: GOOD night...I don't know what is so good about it. I mean, here I am, end of another day, still too small to do much more than put on my pajamas and brush my teeth. I'm just too insignificant to make any kind of difference in this world. ....there are over 6 billion people on the planet...What difference could I possibly make. I'm just one voice...How could I possibly matter.


Then two little girls enter the stage and begin to sing a song, One Voice....just a bit of it...which is sung in full near the end.



The boy gets into bed...and the dream weavers enter the stage again, and head over the dream bridge to the boys bed...they say as they enter the realm of the world...it's so heavy on this side...so many worries, so many fears...so many doubts.



They talk about how the boy doesn't believe in himself, or see his own value...his possibility, his POTENTIAL.


Then they little dream weaver puts a cowboy hat on the boys sleeping head, and spreads wand dust...[video and pictures to come] and the boy has a dream about being small...but having potential...riding the open range. Cute country song and dance.


Moving on...The boy learns that he is small, but he has GOT POTENTIAL.


Then he says: I have value and potential and possibility. Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, even Bill Gates were kids once. They had a dream, an idea, and if they hadn't of believed in themselves we wouldn't have telephone, electric lights, computer games...

BUT... BUT...but, how do I do it. How do I accomplish anything at all. It would be much easier to not step out, just don't think about it.

Just be small and stay in a safe harbor. I don't know what to do. I just don't know. I just want to sleep.


The Dream Weavers talk about how the boy used the word BUT....an escape word, an excuse word. Smells like FEAR...

Do you think they'll ever learn that what they imagine CAN become their reality.

They just have to put their ship on the ocean....and sail.


WHAT DO YOU IMAGINE?



Phases and Changes...

CLARISSA SOLO, CLICK HERE

...or scroll down to further post to see!

Sam...in phases and changes

Boy: That was great!!! The wind in my face, the open sea, endless possibilities! And it's all up to me...I decide if I stay in the safe harbor or set my course for...well, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. I am the captain of my future. I choose where I go and what I become in life. then he stops, and becomes doubtful again... But...what if I don't see myself as captain of my own ship. What if I don't see myself as great and able? When I look in the mirror all I see is a ....kid....small....not special...just a kid. [and he is back to bed] The dream weavers are talking...they say...He doesn't see himself as what he already is or wishes to become. He sees...so much ....less. He needs to know he is great and able. Well...let's just reflect on this a minute.. hum.....reflection....go with me on this girls.... What do you imagine? (singing)

The above pictures go with the reflection part of the singing. The song is called the Mirror. What do you see....when the mirror reflects back to me. Each of the kids in the picture are looking at what their potential is to be....an artist, a basketball player, a guitarist, a ballerina. [another great VIDEO goes here, someday...]

boy: So, as I see myself in the mirror, is what I have created from what I believe about myself. True or untrue, it's my own beliefs of how other people see me. It all begins with how I see myself.

What image I have decided is real. But, how do it get there?

To that place, where I like who I see in the reflection and to that place where I want to end up? Do I just hang back and see what happens? Do I just leave it up to chance? Or do I get to have a part in creating it all? There are so many questions and I have no answers. I don't know. I just don't know.



The Dream Weavers...

This is the time in his life where he gets to plant the seeds of what he wants to become. He can't see it yet, because he hasn't planted the seeds.

Good seeds...bad seeds...They're all out there.

Yes, but it's up to everyone to choose the seeds they want to grow.

What you plant...is what you become....


THEN, the next song is a Rapp song..."Good Seed!!"


Boy: It's the seed....so basically...good stuff in, good stuff out. Bad stuff in, bad stuff out. Well, I can control that. I just have to pay attention everyday to what seeds I am letting in and then, I can grow or become what ever I want.

Seem's easy enough....but....there's so much out there...pressure, decisions, friends, expectations...things I'm afraid of...things that scare me...I don't think I can do this!!!! I don't think it's possible at all.

DreamWeavers: Red ALERT...RED ALert...We have a situation here...unexpected breach...Emergency protocol...quickly, wands to full power...FEAR IS ON THE PREMISES, I REPEAT, FEAR IS ON THE PREMISES...

Sam and Clarissa, together, below
portraying FEAR
I loved this part of the play...just creepy and scary...really FEAR,
then the Dream Weavers surround the boy, and banish the FEAR away.

They swoop in and protect him. Just like angels.

And the fear dissappears.

And then comes the part about LOVE, and taking care of each other, kids taking care of kids, parents taking care of kids, parents taking care of parents. And then the really fun part of the play...the reggae... And how we are all part of a big river, flowing into DA ocean.... Live is a river...love is the giver.... Anyhow...GREAT video to come...it's coming, it's coming...

Then, the Dream Weavers kind of put it all together.
We all have potential,
We all have to know that ANYTHING
can happen and that
Everything will happen
if we believe in ourselves,
and in others.
To have love,
not fear,
and faith to believe in me.


They say...People don't start problems and wars. Fear does. Fear of not having enough or being enough makes people misunderstand each other and assume. And when we assume, problems start.

Then the boy discovers that HE BELIEVES IN HIMSELF: I can see the possibility for change. A new world, a new outlook that I create by the choices I make starting today...starting right now!!!
I can do this. I know I can.

DreamWeavers: Dream Weaver Central...This is Dream Weaver one. Mission accomplished. We have success. The eagle has landed. I repeat...the eagle has landed.

Here is the next FAVORITE part,
where Clarissa and Sam both
sing and perform.
VIDEO COMING: I believe in myself!



Then the Dream Weavers come out alone.

They talk about how they have changed.
The littlest Dream Weaver comes out with the biggest wings...
and shows her new outfit, she designed...

They say...Mostly I'm glad we came to see eye to eye.
And that everyone here is just doing the best they can with what
they see in their own mirror.

And now, I see there is more than just one "Point of View" and I need
to always try to remember that.


We have to have diversity, and appreciation
for our differences,
and really love each other.

They sing a song about Point of View...

...then a few kids come out and sing One Voice.
CLICK ON PICTURES TO GO TO VIDEO OR SCROLL DOWN

Then the Dream Weavers say...You know...there may come a time
when they won't need us any more...

The Dreamers...

Only when they forget how wonderful they truly are.



Then...We'll come visit them in their dreams.

But, THIS is a new world.
A new season, coming into view,
A new scene, starring me and you,

A new canvas, on which to do ANYTHING...ANYTHING!


Then the whole group comes out and sings wHAT Do yOu iMAgINe together....


Announcer: So...What if...What if you options were endless...lets say, you had no limits...no boundaries...and you TRULY believed in the part of you that says "I CAN" and you freely let go of that little voice that says
"I CANT" Then...WHAT COULD YOU IMAGINE?

Hmmmm, just a thought.

Oh, and by the way,
Have you noticed you own wings yet?






The End!!!


oh wait...what is a performance without congrats...and flowers...
or chocolate...if you are Sam, his daddy gave him a bar
of the DARKEST chocolate...yum!...and on to next year...
