Today was Perry Ann's Big Day. Not her 8th grade graduation, that is next week. Today was her 8th grade Language Arts Festival play at her school. Really, if you talk to PA graduation will be second to her performance in "Lagooned". A play about a cruise ship that gets wrecked on an island that a fantasy vacation company uses to stage shipwrecks for paying customers. The vacation company actors think the actual shipwrecked people are paying for the "experience" so they keep up the act of being savage tribal warriors preparing to sacrifice a young girl from the ship to the volcano. There are also military personnel on the island to test missiles since the commander lands on the wrong island and thinks it is deserted. PA played the role of The Little Old Lady from Pasadena, a tourist on the ship. It was so funny and really, really good. They all find out about each other and sort out the miscommunication right as missiles land in the lagoon where they all are standing and the play ends with a huge explosion and the curtain closes. We assume they all perish. Not the ending I expected. It was really cute. PA is the old lady in the hat.
