Plays...

I have been to a couple of really good plays recently. Both have had my children in them. At the end of April, Megan had her class puppet show. They have spent a couple months making their puppets themselves. Then the parents were asked to come to the performance. Katelyn, Mikayla and I quite enjoyed ourselves. Megan's puppet played the part of Rose White in the fairy tale of "Rose Red, Rose White." Her whole class did a very good job!

The next play was the Syracuse Elementary production of "The Wizard of Oz." Karly was a member of the ensemble. The play was quite good. It was an elementary production so I wasn't expecting much. They had 2 different times with 2 different casts. Megan and I went to the first one. It was during Mikayla's nap time so Mike stayed home with Monica, Katelyn, and sleeping Mikayla. Mike went to see the second cast with Monica and Katelyn. I stayed home with Megan and an awake Mikayla. We just didn't think Mikayla would be too interested and more disruptive then it was worth. We found out that we should have left Katelyn home too, because she wasn't interested either and a little disruptive. Karly did a great job in both casts. Ensemble character were in both casts. She was quite upset that she was not cast and a character munchkin. But we found out that there were only boys cast for that and they weren't very "munchkin" like. Karly got over her disappointment and was quite pleased that a number of our friends and family came to see and even brought her flowers.

Karly is right behind the chair on the left and to the right of the "munchkin" with the green wig.

Karly is in the very center of the picture. To the right of the blond girl with pig-tails.

This is the whole cast of the play. This is from the first performance that I went to. I really couldn't tell you exactly where she is. I can't remember where she was standing. I am assuming that it is somewhere in the front because of her height. If you really want to find her, think of it as a "Where's Waldo" type game but just change it to "Where's Karly." :)
