My LOL juggling neverthriving left our school in Windham, Maine early one morning this month to drive thirty minutes to a sister school in the town of Buxton: Living Waters School.  We did a chapel service there for their entire school, grades K through twelve.  LOL was very pleased to see how much space we would have to work in, having both a large stage and high ceilings.

Living Waters was a great audience, as I remember them from a few years ago when we went their.  The students and teachers were involved from the start, cheering for Lana as she entered the stage juggling in our opening routine.  When Alex pulled a seventy foot mouth coil out of his mouth, he brought the house down, and Elsa juggling three basketballs on a ripstick was equally well received.  

No show with multiple young performers is ever perfect, and Clare had an unusually hard time juggling three axes.  Although the space was generous, she struggled with the stage lights - a common challenge for jugglers.

The highlight of the show, however, was when we performed "I Want to Know What Love Is."  NormallyBrenna breaks Lucas's heart by pushing his (balloon) heart into his face and walks off with Toby.   But this time, after rejecting Lucas, she broke the htird wall, walked into the audience, and snuggled up with one of their high school boys!  She played it perfectly, and I can't remember a longer, louder laugh at any show we've done.  

When the show / service ended, we packed up all of our props, and overheard the Living Waters boy bragging about Brenna's attention!  Although this show was a couple weeks ago, I'm sure he's still talking about it!
