Drama Club

  Last year Lizzy wanted to be in Drama Club.  I didn't know how it worked and by the time I found out that I was supposed to email the ladies in charge for an audition, it was too late.  Lizzy ended up being the very next person on the waiting list.  This year we weren't going to let that happen. I contacted them immediately and signed both Nellie and Lizzy up to audition.  They each had to sing a solo and do a reading for their audition.  I was so proud of both for not being too afraid to do it. 

 The ladies didn't think the girls were good enough for big parts so they were given bit parts  It is hard sometimes as a parent to explain the political aspect of things.  Its hard for a kid to understand why another kid who isn't as good as them has a bigger part.  But they still showed up every single week to practice for Shrek.  Nellie was given the part of a Duloc dancer, and Lizzy was the ugly duckling. 

It was a bit frustrating that after months of going to practice every single week, the ladies in charge never took the time to learn the girls name.  I realize you are busy, but is it really that difficult to learn 30 kids names.  They knew the big part names.  Way to make the small part kids feel even smaller.

It was so fun to go and watch the girls perform.  They did such a great job.  Lizzy is totally in her element with performing and it was so fun to watch her blossom.  She really was the best singer, but she needed to learn how to project her voice and she did learn that.  This sort of thing is really out of Nellies comfort zone so I was so proud of her for really going after it and doing awesome!  I sure love these amazing girls of mine and I am so proud of all that they are becoming.
