Living the Dream || Once upon a time a girl had a dream. What she wanted more than anything in the world was to pursue a career in the theatre, perform on the big stage, enjoying the glow of the spotlights and soaking in the rapturous applause of the audience. Over the years, real life took over and the dream faded and the girl locked it away, but never quite forgot. Last night, I finished my first ever show week at the beautiful Theatre Royal, Nottingham, with the fabulous @carltonoperaticsociety in our production of Top Hat. I've always felt at home at that particular theatre but the view from the other side of the curtain is a sight more magical than I'd hoped. Not only that, but I also met some wonderful new friends and had the opportunity to contribute to a show more spectacular than I'd ever imagined. The moral of the story is this - just because your dreams don't look exactly the way you expected, it doesn't mean they aren't coming true... #theatrelife #amateurtheatre #nottingham #eastmidsbloggers #carltonoperaticsociety #tophat2018 #liveunsripted #livingthedream #flashesofdelight #livecolourfully #makemoments #abmhappylife #picoftheday #instajoys #bloggerlife #thegirlgang #lifestyleblogger #blogandbeyond #theuncoolclub #30plusblogs #lifethroughalens
