For the performers, costumers, set designers, stage manager, and directors to gather!

Mercy was here. She wasn't nervous about the singing part, really. She'd had to sing enough at the Friday night gatherings back at Aspen Creek. And at least here most of the people didn't hate her, so that was a plus.

Still, she felt kind of uneasy about just... stuff. And the scent of everyone else's nerves were getting to her.

Miley was warming up and pacing back and forth, hand curled tight around the glittery pink microphone she'd specifically brought with her. (It was a Hannah thing. Don't ask.) It felt weird, being nervous for a small-town performance like this one, but there you had it.

Petra had found a card table and an out of the way corner to set up her sewing kit in case anyone needed her services. Ripped hem, missing button, too-big elf costume? Bring it on. She was warming up her voice as she waited for anyone who needed her help.

Find seats, chat, mingle, enjoy the fact that we're no longer disappeared!

Stephanie was a total sucker for holiday shows! Luckily saying she'd naturally be here with bells on wasn't literal.

Regardless. There she was, ribs healed up enough to move around without discomfort (that bacta stuff was cool), not exactly dressed in holiday-appropriate colors but grinning festively enough to make up for it.

Kitty had told Jono that she wanted to see this and she did. She found a seat where she thought she could get a good view and settled in to let Fandom impress her with its talent.

Well, of course Gabrielle was going to support her fellow students in their artistic endeavors! Did you even have to ask if she would? There she was, sitting as close to the front of the theater as she'd been able to manage, hands clasped in her lap and looking attentive and eager.

Granted, there was a little desperation mixed in there, like she was going to be cheerful and have a good time no matter what so help her gods, but points for intent at least. Right?

For all the performers to ping in with their acts!

Miley had rehearsed a lot for tonight and she was still nervous by the time she got onstage, wearing a red dress and with her glittery pink microphone in hand for good luck. She bypassed the mic stand in favor of holding the microphone.

"Hey, guys," she greeted everyone, sounding surprisingly subdued -- but no less friendly -- compared to her normal bubbly self. "I'm Miley Stewart. How're y'all doing tonight?" She paused for a response. "Gonna kick things off nice and slow with a song to get you in the holiday spirit, okay? Here we go."

"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree..."

Miley's voice was maybe huskier than people would expect from her personality and speaking voice, and she'd slowed down the tempo of the song to a pace that wasn't entirely what she was used to -- but she sounded good. Her nerves floated away by the time she hit the first chorus, and soon enough she was tapping her feet and looking as loose and comfortable onstage as she ( ... )

The next number required no fancy set, no great fanfare. There was a spotlight up on center stage. And that spotlight waited, patiently, for the two next performers to step into it ( ... )

Talk about what you just watched! Preferably about how much you enjoyed it.

Dinah was beaming-- Karla was here and she'd done great-- but on the other hand, bruising.

Staying alive was yay, staying unhurt would've been even better, though

Re: Audience - After the Show glacial_witch December 17 2011, 05:39:23 UTC

THAT HADN'T BEEN PART OF THE AGREEMENT, DINAH!

The odds of the bruises going unnoticed were slim, but that didn't stop Karla from barreling over to Dinah as fast as she could to wrap her arms around her friend.

Those weren't tears, dotting your shirt Dinah. They were...shut up.

Re: Audience - After the Show blondecanary December 17 2011, 05:41:36 UTC

"Karla," Dinah had a chance to say, then she was glomped and glomping. "Hey."

Scolding was for afters. Now was hugging time. And no, that was not sniffling.

Relax after the performance!

Re: Backstage - After the Show its_theclimb December 16 2011, 22:10:14 UTC

Miley flopped down onto a couch when she was done and took a long sip of water. She was tired, but definitely glowing, feeling more proud of herself than she usually did after a show.

That had been -- a challenge. But a great one.

Re: Backstage - After the Show walkswithcoyote December 17 2011, 00:42:04 UTC

Mercy was just kind of glad it was done. She found a stool and perched on it backstage where she was out of the way, but could still catch a glimpse of what the others were doing.
