Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood.
Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England.
It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome.
It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of play...

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in junior high Missoula came to our school as well! It was a fantastic experience! We did a production of Treasure Island. I so enjoyed it!
