Mommy Bragging

One of the nice things about not being able to leave for camp the day it started this year was that I was able to attend all of the parent orientations for my kids' various theatre camps this summer. So, I already know that Caroline and Elisa will be performing very small ensemble numbers in Sooner Theatre's production of Beauty and the Beast on June 24, 25, and 26th. (Matinees on Wedesday and Friday, both the matinee and evening show on Thursday.)  But I didn't know for sure about what Natalie's role would be until Friday. Natalie is doing her second year at the kids' camp for the Cimarron Circuit Opera Company. Last year, she was in the chorus and really enjoyed it. This year she tried out for the camp again and was accepted. On Friday, they did auditions for parts in the summer's production and she was one of two girls to get the lead! (They have two casts and alternate performances) I am so excited for her! She will play Casilda in The Gondoliers. Performances are July 2nd and 3rd. She will do one matinee and one evening performance, but I'm not sure which ones on which days yet. So, if anyone is interested in seeing my little stars, let me know...(FYI: Sooner Theatre tickets WILL sell out quickly, they do every year.) And yes, Tristan is very sorry he declined all offers/suggestions that he try out for something this summer. At least he is (surprisingly) enjoying piano lessons.
