It was really a good experience being part of the play. As a child you don't really get a lot of opportunities to be on stage. Acting was not really me I was more of a dancer but when I stepped on the stage to audition for the play Guys and Dolls I felt that everything else was behind and that I was were I needed to be. This play made me realize that I was more than just a dancer I was something else. I was also a actor and a singer! I hope this one of many plays that can led to a big career in my life.

Being in the Guys and Dolls musical has developed brand new memories for us all. We got to make new friendships. One of the best part of being in the musical is the crowd clapping and cheering for you after you finish a scene. That cheer makes all of the hard work and effort we put into it all worth it.

The experience in the play Guys and Dolls was very exciting for me. The play is amazing because you get to meet new people and just have a good time with the play. I think that the play is a great experience with your life. You may think that plays are boring ,but once you are in a play you see how much people will put into the play even if it is a small crowd.

The musical was amazing. It was a great experience because it could probably led me to being famous and it could make me an actor. When I first watched my first musical in Loara, I got interested in doing the musical. Later on, when a new musical came up, I auditioned. After the audition was over, the teachers said the results. Then, I heard my name and I thought i'm really good at this.

I was really excited about this years performance with all the choreography that was created by our phenomenal directors, and my amazing co-actors and the great singers on stage. What got me motivated about this play was that this was my last year at this and I wanted to go down in memory of my performance on this years musical

I really enjoyed the play because I was able to interact with other kids and I got to know the kids I did not know. Another reason why I enjoyed the play is that my parents say that I talk too much and now that I am on the stage, I am able to talk without getting in trouble. My last reason why I enjoyed being a part of the play is the fame around school. I used to be a kid who had never really had been talked to by other students and now I don't just talk to other kids I now get compliments about me being in the play and th I now enjoy the theater so much I want to become an actor when I grow up.

It's really nerve racking to be on your first play. That's how I felt with Guys and Dolls. Even if I was just back stage it was still fun experience for me and my friends. We would sometimes goof around during practices. Over all it was wonderful experience for all us.

Being in Guys and Dolls was really fun because I never been in a play before and I was really excited to be in it. Being a gambler was fun, but I was nervous I also had confidence in my self any ways. The play was a very exciting experience for me and the songs were the best part in the play. Most of my best friends were in it to and it looked so much fun for them and it was fun for me to. Thank you for coming to are play and I am very glad you liked it.

Being in a play is a little bit new to me, and I'll be honest I was a little bit nervous when I had to walk down the walkways during the song "Guys and Dolls", but after we had to perform in front of the school it wasn't really that bad, in fact I enjoyed the play because performing in front of all your friends and family is actually worth being nervous.

I got to admit the choreography in this play was amazing. I was a little nervous about being in the play, but when I got know everyone in the play I felt some confidence inside me. The director Mr. Kohne would help us practice to make sure we would get every move right. When we got to our dress rehearsal to play in front of the kids in school I got really nervous. Everyone kept telling calm down you will be alright, just follow the lead as everyone else.

This year when performing Guy and Dolls was very nerve racking. This year I learned that even though you don't have a big part like other people do you can still do your best. As a kid it is not easy to perform in front of others and memorize you lines, even though I don't have a lead role I still have memorize when I have to go on stage to perform. Being in the play is not easy you have to have a lot of courage.

When we were doing "Guys and Dolls," it first felt a little weird to me. But the longer we did, it felt pretty good. I think it was even better than last year. I've never had this much fun doing a play. In the first year I was pretty shy. But now,I am not really shy this year because last year was my first and this year is my second. I had so much fun this year on "Guys and Dolls." This was a great year.

I've never been in a musical and when I went on stage I was nervous. The more I did it though the easier it was. Also it was fun being in the play because we get to dance and sing. I would love to be in next year's musical, but next year I'll go for a leading part.

It was awesome being a gambler in the play because it was fun. Also I thought it was funny watching how the characters interacted, especially Sky and Big Jule. It was very cool singing "The Oldest Established" and saying, "New Yawk." I really enjoyed being in "Guys and Dolls" because it's fun putting on the costumes and singing to an audience. It was a very good experience.

Being in the "Guys and Dolls" chorus was fun because I got to sing and I like singing.I also liked being in "Guys and Dolls" because I got to spend time with my friends. It was fun and exciting because it was my first musical and I would like to be in next year's play. The song I liked best from the play was "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat." I wonder whats next year's play is going to be?

Andrew A. 4th Grade At first I was really nervous being in a musical but after the 2nd play I was feeling more comfortable. It was awesome being in a 1950's play.

It is quite an experience going on stage. At first I was nervous and every day when I got back home I wasn't sure I could do it. Then I got used to be on stage. I was nervous when all the parents were in the audience. When you're acting sometimes you get stage fright. It was fun though because some of the parts in the script were funny. When this play ends I'm going to miss it. This was a great year.

I like to work backstage because we got to paint a lot and do lots of art. We mostly painted parts of the set. We also got to pass out programs and wear black costumes. We got stay at one of our Wednesday practices to get the job done. I liked being backstage for the "Guys and Dolls" musical. I think I still want to be backstage for the next musical. It was fun.

When I first addition for Guys and Dolls, it got really scary because, my whole class was there watching me sing. A couple of days later, I have gotten a lead. I got really worried learning my lines, but then a show came up. I had gave myself some confident before I went on stage. When I was on stage, I felt like I can do anything. It was a very great experience trying out for Guys and Dolls.

It was cool being in "Guys and Dolls." I liked performing the song "Luck Be a Lady because it has a lot of arm movements and action. I also liked "Good Old Reliable Nathan" because it's a catchy tune. Also I'm definitely doing the play next year and try out for a lead role!

Being in the play was a fun experience. In the beginning I never really was interested in singing or acting because I was so focused on dancing, but this year I decided I want to audition for the play Guys and Dolls. I was really scared because my whole class was there. A few days later I did not get a lead, but that was okay because I was scared to sing in front of everyone. I found out that I was going to be a hot box farmerette and i was excited. Our dance is a little funny, but we did it anyway! Everyone laughed at it but they loved it. Being in the play was a great experience!

Being in the play, "Guys and Dolls" was an amazing experience. I had so much fun singing and dancing on stage with my friends. Watching the audience smile is so wonderful to see that they are enjoying the performance. I was really nervous about our first performance, but I had so much pleasure doing it! :) Now that I have done the play and experienced a lot more, I now think that I want to audition next year, maybe. I made a lot of new friends, too. "Guys and Dolls" is my favorite play I've done so far. I loved the story of the play and the message behind it. It makes my day when people come up to me and tell me that I did a good job. :) "Guys and Dolls" is a play that I will NEVER forget.

Being in the musical "Guys and Dolls" was a fun time for me to practice singing and dancing. It was put together with a lot of work from us the, students and the teachers. The teachers did a lot of work putting the musical together and some parents. I practiced everyday so I can make sure I now the song and the words to say. I now that the parents that will watch the play know we put a lot of work to the musical. I love being in the musicals that we do every year, I wish that I have started in third grade. I started joining the musicals in fourth grade, last year we did the musical "Alice In Wonderland" and I was a sea creature. This year I am a Hot Box Girl. I know the dance very well and the song. Sadly, my parents can't come because they have to be at work. Well I understand that they have to work for money than buy some tickets. At least my brother got to see it because he is in the same school. My brother is trying very hard to get in G.A.T.E so he can join the musicals that we do every year. Hope everybody who watches the musical enjoy this musical.

Being in the Gate musical was a great experience. The best part about it is when you are actually having fun. I loved the Gate musical. When I was standing in front of everyone on stage, I just took some great advice that Alyson Reed, a famous celebrity, told me and all the other gate classes. Dancing and singing along with my friends on stage was so much fun. Remember all that really matters is when you are having fun!

Being in a play feels great, but i didn't get this year's play. I thought it should have been more magical like last year's play or musical. This year I didn't have a big of a chance for a lead because most of the 6th graders got leads and there weren't that much leads for girls so I think that I think i would have a better chance next year. I have hidden talents and I love to do them ,but I'm kinda shy so that's why i joined and auditioned in this years play. I also like hanging out with my friends after school. You don't really get bullied there either and you get to hang out with your friends after school without doing any work! When it was time to go home on Wednesday December 18, 2013 I didn't want to go home because i wanted to stay and play with my friends, but it was 9:00. So i said my goodbyes and left waiting for my next adventure.

Being in the play was a great experience. I had so much fun hanging out with my friends in the library. Guys and Dolls was a fun and creative play. I felt nervous when I stepped on the stage, but as I started getting used to it, I felt proud of myself. I didn't try out for a lead because I afraid that I might forget a line. I might try out next year. Some of my friends say that I should. I have hidden talents, but I'm just too shy to show it. I mostly like to sing. I sing all the time. I sing when I'm alone, I sing everywhere. I don't like to sing in public though. I'm afraid that people will laugh at me. That's why I keep it to myself and some few friends. When I went home from the school play on Wednesday, I felt victorious. My family liked the costumes. Thank you for coming to the play
