The kids just finished their summer Stage Kids class with their production of Seussical, Jr.
The Eureka cast combined with the Bloomington cast to bring this production to the stage.
Briggs wasn't planning to be in the show until his friend, Grace, signed up. Then he changed his mind and was the cutest little Who in Whoville and a fish. As part of the ensemble, Briggs did a great job of knowing the songs and dances and really creating his character on the stage.
Adelie was Cindy Lou Who. Even though she didn't have any lines or solos, this was one of her best performances. She was very expressive on stage, did a great job singing the songs and remembering the dances, and was a joy to watch.
Staley was the Young Kangaroo, sidekick to the Sour Kangaroo in the show. She had a few short solos within songs and made the most of them. Although this wasn't one of her biggest parts in terms of lines or solos, she said it was one of her favorite shows to be in.
With each show, my kids have more and more friends that they want to get pictures with after the performance.
They love meeting new friends when the casts come together and further establishing relationships with friends from different schools/grades/towns.
The family atmosphere of NTA and the joy my kids find in preparing for and performing each show makes me appreciate this little organization all the more.
Like always, the kids had so many people come to watch them perform. Briggs' friend, Dava, came with her mom one night...on Dava's birthday!
Their summer baby-sitter, Miss Olivia, came to watch them.
Of course, they were also supported by grandparents...
Miss Vickie...
great aunts...
cousins...
and friends.
It was a fantastic show with my fantastic kids. I love watching them continually grow in their skills and find joy on the stage. So proud of them all!
