A Performance

Bridget is in acting/drama class. It has been going on all summer.

She absolutely, unequivocally, loves the idea of being on stage, being a star, and performance.

We tried dance, and that was great-but not like Drama. She will be starting dance, with Scarlett in January.

She is trying out for her first play (Magic Tree House) next week and when I asked how she felt about it she said "I am totally not worried, I have facial animation and dramatic effect down!"

Last night was her class performance, each kid had to write their own part and act it out.

At the last minute another girl freaked out and pretty much "stole" Bravo Bridget's monologue. (her own nickname in class) The teachers scrambled and they changed a part of Bridget's personally written monologue and she got the two mixed up, but as you can see, that didn't phase her one bit.

This did not ruin her experience in the least, she told her Daddy on the drive home "that a true actress needs to be up for last minute changes. She must work on that!"

Now without further adieu, here is a piece of the whole play.

Nathan will not be filming the next one! Yeesh!

(There were 2 Elsas and 2 Annas and a bunch of random Disney Characters in this class written play)

She was also in another part of the play, which the video is too large for my to upload.

And she learned all about musical theater, and performed "My Favorite Things"

All in all, this "practice" class did just what it was supposed to do.

She can't wait for the next "season" where they get to be on real stage!
