Frog Princess

I can now add Drama in Princess's school portfolio")!  Our local base had the Missoula Children's theater club hold a week's camp.  The main purpose of the camp was to put on a performance in 5 days.  For the last couple of years Princess has been saying she wants to work in the Performing arts.  I sort of drag my feet  over getting her signed up but am so glad I did.

Princess had to audition for a role, while everyone was guaranteed small part... Princess was thrilled that she got a speaking role

She was cast in the role of Ollie the wise Aspen Tree.   I was a little concerned as I have never had my children memorized anything in our school lessons and then Princess was presented with a role with many, many lines to learn in less than 5 days.  However I have to say Princess was so motivated she had all her lines memorized by day 3 and didn't want me to help her so I would be surprised on show day.

Her Aspen tree custom.  Princess wasn't thrilled with it but she quickly got over it:0


The entire cast and the finale...all the kids did fantastic and not a single one had last minute stage fright which Princess was very concerned about.  She didn't think she would get stage fright but was worried that the little ones would:).

A very proud Daddy and Mommy.

Here is a very small snippet of Princess in her role of Ollie the Aspen Tree!!
