We performed in spaces great and small, from a preschool classroom to huge state-of-the-art performing arts centers. We had lots of fun and fielded lots of interesting questions from kids. Repeat questions (those that we were almost guaranteed to get every day) included:
- Who made your costumes? (Henny Penny)
- How do you change clothes so fast? (Henny Penny/Anne Frank)
- What's it like playing multiple characters? (Anne Frank)
- How old is the girl playing Anne in real life? (Anne Frank)
- How does the fox jump so high? (Henny Penny)
One of my personal favorites came during a Henny Penny question-and-answer. We called on a little girl in the front who stated, very confidently, that Kevin should have been the fox and Stevyn should have been the duck. I do believe we may have had a future casting director in our midst!
We're now in rehearsals for The Fantastic Toy Shoppe. We're getting to rehearse in TCTC's brand new practice space! We started rehearsals on Friday, and things are going full swing! It's a fun, feel-good show with a fun, brightly-colored set. It's going to be interesting only having one show to carry in the van at a time!
