Today was a special day. C and J participated with 65 of their friends and fellow homeschoolers in the Avon Mountain Drama Group's Summer production of Beauty and the Beast. In just 4 rehearsals, the show came together beautifully and all grandparents and family members were amazed at how well done the whole show was. The scenery, costumes, dance numbers and acting were quite good, aside from our parental bias. Doobs made her acting debut, playing the part of Tink (Chip, the teacup in the movie). She had a handful of lines, even one line in a song and she pulled them off with charm and great stage presence. Linka was a villager named Jane in the French town as well as a flower dancer in the Enchanted Garden! She had a few lines too and was graceful and poised in her ballet dancing in the garden scene. MK was supposed to be a "grandchild" but decided last minute that she didn't want to be on stage. (I think she found the snack table and wanted to stand guard until after the show.)
The kids had a blast with all of their friends at rehearsals and it was really great to see such a team effort on behalf of all of the families. Mom had an even bigger blast living vicariously through her children. Ahhhh, the old aspirations of becoming a broadway actress came full circle in just a few short weeks. I KNEW God had a plan for those desires!
Congratulations to our two little "rising stars." We are so proud of you, Tink and Jane!
