Now, his brothers and sister have followed in his footsteps, maybe not with the same intensity, but nonetheless, they enjoy acting and singing. They all have wonderful voices which they most certainly did not get from their parents.
Their latest production was with the Vermont Family Theater. They presented Oliver Twist over the weekend. We had two shows on Saturday and an afternoon show on Sunday. Needless to say, we are all taking it easy today from the long week of rehearsals and then the actual shows.
However, the experience and joy they receive from both the process and the actual performing, make it all worthwhile.

That's so wonderful! My stepsons were both in a (art film) movie about 2 years ago, and although they both enjoyed it, the acting bug didn't exactly bite. I would so love one (or more) of our kids to be involved with local theater like this. Your kids look adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteYour children are beautiful Tonya!

ReplyDeleteOh I think that this sounds so wonderful. My husband was very active in theatre, and I know that he feels very strongly that acting is a wonderful way to work through the emotions that life can often bring.
ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud. I know that theater is quite a time commitment. It is neat that you make it a priority since it is important to your children.
