This year, Abi had the opportunity to audition for two plays at her school. The first one occurred in the Fall and was open to second through fifth graders. This year the Fall play was Beauty and the Beast. It requires the kids to audition and be cast for a role. The one in the Spring is open to Kindergarten through second graders and does not require auditions. It is written and directed by fourth and fifth graders and each child gets to say one line and learn and perform a dance.
As in past years, Abi wanted to audition for the Fall play and tried out for one of the non-speaking roles. Her audition consisted of dancing on stage with other kids. A few days later, she was over the moon when she found out she got cast as a "book". After rehearsing several times a week for months, she was all set for her big performance! As with all of her plays, she exceeded my expectations and I was in awe of her confidence on stage.
Abi's bio was hung with the other actors on the wall as we entered the theater.
Abi and her co-stars
Sorry for the quality on this video - it is so hard to get a decent video with the stage lights and Abi always seems to be right underneath them!
At least it will give you an idea of her performance- it was just adorable!

In keeping with the Beauty and the Beast theme, we made red rose chocolate covered Oreos for the cast party!
