296/365 Audish

3 family members and one community theater production of Oliver. Wouldn't that be fun? We'll see!

267/365 Twinkle No More

129 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade boys and girls auditioned for this year's production of Willy Wonka, the musical. 129 renditions of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. 129 readings of lines. 129 will be in the play, until the dropping out begins. If I don't hear twinkling for a while, that would be just fine by me.

144/365 Another Audition

I guess this family should get used to this. Mom and Dad are a pair of recently-resurrected theater geeks. We fretted our own recent auditions, and experienced a remarkable success. The Drama Princess herself will be auditioning for entrance into the Musical Theater Program at her high school. This special audition requires that she prepare 16 bars of a show tune. She'll be ready. Working at home in pj's with a built-in accompanist and coach, we can gently reinforce the wisdom of her wonderful voice teacher. Then we recede into the background and fret and sweat with all the other parents.
