Bring on the Preschooler’s

Yesterday was the final rehearsal for Mouse Tails, we had the chance to do two preview shows to prep us for an audience, one with staff and the other with some kids around the library. It was great having the audience there for the audience participation sections of the show. The van has been loaded and we begin our tour Monday. Fun, Fun, Fun.

In other theatre related news, the family and I had a chance to take in some shows this week. First was Street Beat on Wednesday. It was an awesome show. They brought in a variety of percussion beats and lots of dancing. It was lively and energetic. The boys were WOWed and attempted all the moves they saw shortly after it ended. It was also shown in the new Knight Theatre which I think is a beautiful venue.

On Thursday we made our way to Children’s Theatre and saw Beauty and the Beast. This show was wonderfully done. Fantastic set, lights, costumes, and cast. I was so happy to be reminded of the story of Belle and the ultimate lesson the show provides. Terrific family show.

The next week will be filled with the tour, an audition and planning for the future. Just for fun, here is a picture from the red carpet of the Metrolina Theatre Awards in September. If you know me you know I LOVE dressing up and so the combo of dress up and Theatre folk, made one heck of a great evening.
