Adelie and Staley finished their fall semester of Stage Kids with a fabulous production of 'Annie, Jr.' Both girls had a wonderful time being orphans. Although Staley was initially a little disappointed in not getting a speaking role, her love and enthusiasm for acting quickly took over and she had nothing but excitement for this show.
I love the family atmosphere and true friendships that are formed through Stage Kids between kids of all ages. It has been such a good experience for my girls.
My little orphans had tons of support from family and friends coming to see them perform.
Grandparents,...
great-aunts,...
and aunts and cousins...
from both sides of the family.
Adelie's Kindergarten teacher (previously Staley's) has come to almost all of the shows with her daughter. My girls were so excited that Mrs. Doty and Kylee brought them roses.
And our neighbors never miss a show.
One of Staley's friends from church came with her mom and sister on a whim, not even realizing that Staley was going to be in it. They were both excited to see each other.
Stage Kids has been a great way for my girls to make new friends, as well as spend time with school friends in a different environment.
Theater friends make the best friends.
We are so thankful for Ms. Kelleen, one of the directors of this program, for starting this program and continually building it.
I always love the joy my girls get from being on stage. They both have nothing but smiles and excitement while performing. It makes my heart happy to see them doing something they obviously enjoy.
