Show Time Again!?!

My kids were going to take a break and I wasn’t pushing them to audition even though I thought the Jungle Book would be a great play for them. Actually, I was relieved they weren’t auditioning. I knew if they made it practices would be M/T/Thurs. from 7 – 9 pm. And we still have three weeks of school left.

Then we got a call from the director encouraging them to audition. I have to admit, I got more excited then they did. My oldest (13) still said he wanted to take a break but really liked working with these directors. Then I asked my little guy (8) if he wanted to audition. He said yes.

So off we went. They all did great and I had a feeling… My feeling was right and I pegged the parts they were offered.

Chris (13) Rudyard Kipling who is on stage a lot. The play flips back and forth between Rudyard (author of the Jungle Book) in his dorm room, to the jungle.

Joey (11) Mogli

Timmy (8) Young Mogli who had to audition in HINDI. Yes, he had to read HINDI words. Timmy also gets to play a monkey which he is even more excited about!

So it begins again. Are we insane, crazy? Yes, but also extremely honored and proud!

Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
