I wanted to blog a bit about plays in Cardston. It is a plus to living here, we have really amazing plays and talent at our little theatre downtown. There are also community theatre shows. My kids have had the opportunity to be in a few shows each now. They also have junior theatre academy shows throughout the school year.
A couple years ago, the summer theatre group performed "Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". The cast was amazing, coming from all over, and Ben and Tessa got to be 2 of the kids in the show. They had the best time! It was a lot of work, and a lot of singing. We sure memorized the soundtrack!!! I must have taken Ayden to see the play about 6 times. We loved it!
Tess has been a monarch butterfly, snake, leaf, and a schoolgirl.
Ben has been a prince, an orphan, a pickpocket, a schoolboy, a pal, a thug, a paperboy, and a rat. This next year for junior high, he will be "Augustus Gloop"...he will have to gain a few for that one!I am amazed by my kids' abilities to get on stage and even just say ONE LINE. I remember shaking like a leaf just in a play audition as a child! I couldn't do it. I think maybe I was a tree or something once...but WAY to shy to ever say anything. I used to wish I could, but not meant to be.
Anyhow, we have been having tons of fun going to their little shows and seeing them SHINE...here are a few pics
