A 10-min fall mini-session, natural light only

A 10-min fall mini-session, natural light only

I needed to do a 10-min fall mini-session photo challenge, natural light only, any place, any time. So I asked my favorite model in the world to pose for me in our backyard. It was raining really hard this week but there was a short window yesterday when we could go outside and do it. Love these impromptu moments.

Actor’s Portfolio for Ian

Ian played Lazar Wolf in Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof. When watching Ian on stage, I kept coming back to the thought that he looks a lot like Pierre Bezukhov from Leo Tolstoy's “War and Peace”, specifically in Sergey Bondarchuk’s screen adaptation, when he’s saying “When our lives are knocked off course we imagine everything in them is lost. It is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal still to come.”

Actor’s Portfolio for Mira

Throughout the years, Mira has played fascinating characters: an asylum patient, a fairy, a loving nun, an intelligent girl, and a teapot. This time she is portraying Tzeitel, the oldest daughter of Tevye (Ibrahim) and there was a hurricane of emotions every time Mira was on stage.

By the way, Mira was voted “Most likely to study before and after the test” in the yearbook. I’m sure this trait was crucial in success on stage and everywhere else.

Catherine has been involved in eight Sewickley Academy productions, including The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In “Fiddler on the Roof”, she had a lead role as Golde, the matriarch of the family and her witty and hearty wife and mother of 3 girls character was very relatable. 

I was delighted to read her bio where she thanks her mom for “being a superstar and supporting her love of theatre!”

Susan, you did a great job as a mother!
