Oliver!

At long last, here are pictures of Oliver!. Emily's acting debut. Ran for 3 weekends in May. She did awesome! She had 3 parts. An orphan, a vegetable selling villager, and the cute little daughter of a well-to-do villager. This was the first time that Emily has even auditioned for anything. She took 3 private voice lessons. Thank you Claire! She was so excited when we found out that she got a part. Although, we had no idea what to expect as part as practice. Wow! She had dance on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And she had play practice on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It was quite a balancing act! All the while having to do school work and get ready for SOL testing! And STILL made perfect scores on Reading and Math SOL! Way to go Toots! AND she won the Linda Glass Reading Award! Oliver! was so much fun! We have gained a greater appreciation for what goes on before a play is performed. They all worked so hard and seemed to have so much fun doing it. Emily can't wait to do another one.
