Candlelight

 Sorry for the lapse in posting- my laptop stopped working a few months ago and I finally decided to replace it with an iPad Pro, which I am currently using to write this post.  Lots of fun activities and goings on have been happening here, but the most notable and exciting is that I have been performing in the Candlelight shows here at Epcot for the past two weeks.  Auditions were held in August and I was accepted as a Soprano 1! I went to over 10 rehearsals over the course of a few months to prepare.  I was fortunate enough to perform in the first show of the season with Josh Gad as narrator.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Candlelight show, it is a retelling of birth of Jesus with a choir singing Christmas carols.  I had the pleasure of singing in the Disneyland Candlelight show which takes place on Main Street USA when I worked at Disneyland.  Here at WDW Candlelight takes place at the American Garden theater at Epcot.  So far I have performed with the following narrators: Josh Gad, Nico Santos, Whoopi Goldberg, and Chrissy Metz.  I attended Candlelight as a guest for Brenden Fraser and I worked tonight cleaning the theater when Gary Sinese was narrating.  Tomorrow I will be performing with Gary Sinese as the narrator.  Other than that I have been keeping busy with work and playing in the parks.  


For WDW Candlelight we wear gold robes, pictured below.  


Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
