Southern States Tour! Day 4: Charlotte, NC

We are so lucky to be on tour in South. Everyday is just better than the last, and as you can see from the blog, the first day was pretty great! We've met so many wonderful new friends, and experienced so many new things!

Much to our dismay, we had to leave our wonderful host families at 8:15 am. We've had so many wonderful host families, and having to pack up and move on has been hard! We got on the bus and headed straight for Charlotte, NC. Our first stop was at the Community School of Davidson. We did two 30 minutes shows, the first for middle school students, and the second for elementary students. I think it's safe to say that our workshops and outreaches are our favorite parts about touring. We had so much fun performing for and getting to know these kids.

After that, it was onto the show! The theatre was beautiful! It was at the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. It used to be an old church, but it was converted into a theatre in the 1970's. The stained glass remains intact, and special backlighting is used during performances to allow these beautiful windows to be seen. It was a beautiful space, but it required a little adjustment. The stage was a new shape for us, but we enjoyed working before the performance to make sure we delivered the same show that perform on all our stops. It was another wonderful, exciting day! I'm sure we'll never stop saying that!
