Cinderella

Angelina was a Dancing (snooty) Lady in the Cinderella musical performances on Friday and Saturday. She had a great time being involved with this production; you could tell by the excitement in her voice when we asked how practice went for the day. We will definitely be making time for this group next summer.

The entire cast of Cinderella (rags to riches version)!

This isn't the typical Cinderella story ... as you can see by the costumes. The actor standing on the far left is Patches; he's also one of the traveling directors for the company. The second director was behind the stages making sure all the kids were ready to go. Patches was the narrator for the whole show and was onstage for all ... he tied it all together. The show had many twists and turns in the story line and word play was funny. We enjoyed watching and it was fun for the kids to perform. Below is the group of snooty Lords and Ladies, Angelina is sitting on the far left, front row.

Angelina, on the left, gives her best snooty look - she's pretty good at it!

Her brother Dash has been living out the excitement vicariously! I know he regrets NOT trying out, now. When he found out it was Cinderella, I could tell that was a turn off - it's a 'girl' show. But, Angelina has told him every detail, and I can hear them talk, animatedly, about everything ... from tryout songs, expressive individual spoken lines during tryouts, and how kids from town (kids they've met) play their parts. Anyway, it's really fun to see the kids excited about something new.

We attended the Friday show. Grandma & Grandpa Green Acres will attend tonight. Quite funny and amazing what the two leader/directors did with this group in one week.
