I am so proud of Emily. She's a seventh grader in a 6th-12th grade school, and she had the confidence to audition for a musical. I would say "like mother, like daughter," but I was an adult before I got up the nerve to do such a thing. She had to prepare a monologue and a song, and performed well enough that she got called back. She wasn't cast as one of the five lead roles (no surprise), but she is in the chorus. She starts rehearsals next week, and, if you've ever been in a play, you know that our lives are about to become a lot more complicated - and extremely busy! It's a big commitment...
The play is called Celebration, and is timed to be the inaugural show in the school's new Performing Arts facility, currently under construction. We're really excited about this new space, and look forward to seeing Emily onstage to help inaugurate its use in March.
Good job, Emily! Have fun!
