#tutuandtea

1. Don't inhale and choke on fake snow

2. Be prepared to not get to bed before midnight

3. Bring many layers to the theatre so you don't become frozen (even if you are a snowflake)

4. Always be kind to helpers backstage and remember to say thank you. (no one likes a diva)

5. Remember you're in the land of the sweets and that means sometimes treating yourself to some after a long day.

6. You are beautiful even when your face breaks out from the hoards of make up

7. Make all the nutcracker puns you can

8. You will probably have stress dreams

9. Every role is important

The softness in a flowers voice is like honey on their tongues.

Making them so eager to wake each morning at dawn's first breath.

Whispering what today's colors the sonnets will be sung in.

The wind guides them with bliss about their day.

The butterflies daintily dance upwards and across the heavens.

when you get coffee at 8:50 but have to be at the studio at 9:00
