Friday night and Saturday morning Avery and Ella had their theatre debut, performing in the musical The Aristocats. It was a great show! Avery played Berlioz, an Aristocat kitten, and Ella was an Alleycat in the ensemble. A very fun "perk" included personalized seats in the dressing rooms for performers :)
Our good friend, Heidi was also an Aristocat in the ensemble. It was fun to see Heidi and her family a lot throughout these last two weeks!
We enjoyed family and friends joining us to watch the performance. And of course we had to go for ice cream afterwards!
On Saturday afternoon, following the final performance, we attended the cast party. Tug-of-war and a pinata were huge hits!
Overall we were very pleased (and impressed) with the quality of the program and educational component. The girls learned theater technique, terms and etiquette -- I learned a lot too! While it was an intense two weeks (I would recommend it for older kids -- 8 and up) Avery is already talking about doing it again next summer.
