Avery and Ella started a summer theater camp this week. This is a new thing for us -- we've never done a lengthy summer camp like this before. So far they love it! Today was the big AUDITION day -- another first for them! They were given their script yesterday -- an abridged version of the Disney musical, "Aristocats" -- and they were instructed to practice their lines and song for auditions today. Avery decided to audition for a lead role, which meant that she had to practice dialogue and sing a solo. Ella chose to try out for the ensemble. She also auditioned dialogue and sang with a group. I came early to pick them up and was able to see both of them perform their speaking parts.
Well, we got the cast list this afternoon and we are excited! Avery got the role of Berlioz -- an Aristocat kitten. She will have dialogue and songs to memorize and she is already marking up her script. Ella was cast in the Alleycat ensemble -- a role that will include singing and dancing with the rest of the cast. We are excited for both of them as they take on this fun endeavor!
They will perform "The Aristocats" on Friday, August 1 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, August 2 at 10:00 am. If you are interested in coming to the show, let me know and I will give you more details.
