Ms. Beeman's 5th grade musical production of Cinderella.

You mention that you want to be a teacher once. ONCE. And every time the grotty little snot-nosed monsters from the primary wing are involved in something YOU get to look after them. EVERY. TIME.

Timmy thinks Ms. Beeman is trying to tell him something.

Timmy is right.

Anny, you'll be playing the fairy godmother.

Yes, Anny you may use some glitter. SOME glitter, Anny. Anny? Anny, look at me. SOME, Anny. SOME glitter.

@Braden-Hallett This thread makes me so happy. Seriously, your characters and captions make me smile. Thank you so much for sharing

[braden H]

@Kaela-McCoy lol thank you I'm hopin' I'll get some good characters out of it (and a nice ensemble piece)

[TessaW]

So fun! As always, your facial expressions are articulated so damn well. Can't wait to see what's next.

[NicolaSchofield]

This is so fun and I love all the characters so far. Can't wait to see the stars of the show!

[deborah Haagenson]

Really, really, really, really nice! I love the facial expressions, the costumes - Everything !

[Pamela Fraley]

@Braden-Hallett this project is amazing!! I’m loving it.

[Jeremy Ross]

@Braden-Hallett nailed it!

[braden H]

Thanks everyone I was a big theatre nerd, so something must have rubbed off design-wise, lol

The wicked stepmother.

Tomorrow will be the crew responsible for moving the wicked stemother.

Hi @Braden-Hallett, I bet you would like reading books by Aaron Reynolds. I believe he’s also a theatre nerd. Wouldn’t it be so great to illustrate one of his books??

[braden H]

@Jeremy-Ross I'll have to check him out! thanks

[braden H]

Ran out of time today, and I once again made the mistake of trying to illustrate and colour three kids instead of one.

The crew is often made up of the kids who for some reason can't or simply won't learn their lines

[braden H]

Okay, Henry, if she tips over it's YOUR job to catch her.

[Coreyartus]

Braden, is there any way you can someday incorporate your cute textual snippets onto the illustrations? They're so funny! These would make a lovely (and quite extensive!) series of prints for theater-afficionados and educators. I could easily see these applied to a variety of merch products as well as a short gift book.

[braden H]

@Coreyartus That's a neat idea! There are definitely bits of Timyy's situation I could see printed, lol

Thanks for the idea! Something suitably artsy

[braden H]

Dear lord she's not slowing down! Page faster, Conrad, page faster! And get ready with that Djembe!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Braden-Hallett ahahahahahaha I just love this

[ArtofAleksey]

this has been extremely enjoyable to watch

[braden H]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz There's always one poor kid in every class who can read music. This is always their job, lol
