Grace’s First Audition: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Auditions are always so exciting and long and yes, kind of boring. I’ve been holding Grace off from auditioning for a year now, but thought we’d give it a shot this year. I was a little worried about her waiting for her chance on stage, so I came prepared. Drink, snack and coloring books. That…

I Must Be CRAZY and an Update on Life!

But I’m sure you already figured that out! Tomorrow was supposed to be Timmy’s 8th Birthday party. We ordered sunshine for his SURVIVOR party. But it’ll be raining all week. Thursday was supposed to be the rain date for party. Supposed to be 40% showers. So I emailed everyone asking if Sunday would be better,…

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…

The Music Man is Over but Not Forgotten!

We had another great theatre run! Thursday night was a little rough, more like a dress rehearsal since the kids hadn’t really run through the entire show in one day, but by Friday they were beginning to shine! Here’s a peak at the first scene! Chris (13) said the quartet messed up a couple of…

Music Man Opening Night!

I haven’t written much about my son’s roles in the Music Man because I really don’t know much about what’s going on. What I do know is that I’m truly proud of my little “Winthrop” and my “Quartet singer.” Because of their experience (and talent) they are doing exceptional and getting all kinds of compliments,…

My Little Stars!

My boys (Joey, 10 &Chris, 13) auditioned for The Music Man last week. Before auditions we rented the movie, and I said that Joey (10) would make a great Winthrop and Chris (13) would be a great quartet singer. But Chris wasn’t interested in that part. He wanted to be Tommy, the town trouble maker.…

It’s Show Time, Again and a School Update!

I can’t believe it’s show time again. Well, not action show time, but audition for their school’s production of The Music Man is tomorrow. Their small Classical Christian school is non for is top notch performances which is great, but also means there’s a chance they might not get the big parts they are getting…

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

I can’t believe this week is tech week for Chris (Peter) and Joey (Edmond.) When I invited my sister to the show I told her it was in two to three weeks. Boy was I wrong! Opening night is in two days! Time really has flown, mostly because we’ve been carpooling with three other families…

Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe…Again

Joey wanted to audition for the show. last year he got a small part, but declined it. He had to make an on the spot decision and Joey is NEVER good at making quick choices. Later he was a little disappointed he didn’t get in the show, but enjoyed watching it. Chris  was Edmund last…

Motivating Talented Kids

Chris has always been a gifted singer. At an early age, I noticed he had a gift for singing and enrolled him in Kindermusik. His pitch and tone amazed me, especially since I can’t sing and always wanted to. At the age of 6 he would mimic the Lion King’s “I just can’t wait to…
