After-wedding play caps off reception at Shelbyville Theatre THEATRE When the little girl who loves Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs and anything princess related discovered the lighted stage, she was immediately in the spotlight, Neither fire breathing dragons nor spell casting witches could have kept her from it. In seconds she was performing an impromptu play, directing her cast with a mastery which held the adults spellbound as a star was born Click on headline for full review with picture By Linda Waggener A critical review The Sunday, May 24, 2009 wedding of Teresa Jane Powell to Thomas Marcum Waggener, held beside the Sixth & Main Coffeehouse in Shelbyville where they met four years ago, brought together relatives, friends and community members to share in the celebration. Afterward the wedding party walked down Main Street to the Shelbyville Community Theater where their union was toasted with wine and cheese and a row of homemade pies as far as the eye could see. Of the hundreds of photos made, one picture was missed because the grandmothers weren't carrying cameras. The missed photo happened as the reception was coming to a close when many goodbyes were being shared with the happy newlyweds. Event photographer and brother of the groom, Pen Waggener, and his wife Amy were busy in support roles and that's why their sons Graham and Evan were in the company of their Mema. And she was chatting with her Cousin Andi Chelf who was watching over her little grandaughters Lucy and Audrey while their mothers and fathers were busy with goodbyes. Someone had left stage lights on Someone had left bright spotlights shining on the stage in the empty, otherwise darkened auditorium while the wedding reception went on upstairs. When Andi and I followed our grandkids as they romped down the stairs and into the theater, it was 3-year-old Lucy who took the stage as if she'd been performing all her life. She twirled in her sweet little dress with her sunny hair fanning out around her shoulders, swooned to the floor directly under the lights and called for the prince to come awaken her with a kiss. Graham, soon to be a man of 8 who has a sign on his door that reads "no girls allowed", glanced back, considered Lucy's plight, and ran off in the opposite direction. Silence. Spotlights stayed on Lucy maintaining her professional pose, the back of her hand delicately gracing her forehead, eyes closed. Five-year-old Evan looked back at Lucy lying on the floor, stopped for a millisecond, then ran off behind his big brother. Before he'd gone very far, Evan looked again at the princess, tiptoed up close, knelt and planted a quick kiss on her elbow, then ran away again. The kiss on the elbow magically awakened the princess Lucy breathed life in with elation as she came awake and arose to the applause. It was a priceless, unforgettable happy ending -- just my kind of drama. During the event, tiny Audrey was carefully observing everything, just waiting for her turn under the spotlights. The official wedding story will come later, but since there was no photo to wait for, this part could be told today. For more about the bride and groom and their decision to hold the wedding downtown, this link goes to a story, by Scott McDaniel in the Shelbyville Sentinel-News:"A Sixth Street weddingDowntown Shelbyville plays multiple roles in couple's story" The theatre has been the venue for so many wonderful performances. It alone is worth the 95 mile scenic journey north on KY 55 to Shelby County Community Theatre, 801 Main ST, Shelbyville, KY. at Shelby County Community Theatre. But the community is also worth visiting as a laboratory town to study ideas for keeping historic downtowns alive and thriving. This story was posted on 2009-05-25 17:33:10
