Emme on stage
It's been a busy week, especially for Emme and Bonnie (who did Emme' schlepping).
Emme was in a Missoula Children's Theater production of The Jungle Book. Her role was as one of the Monkey People.
They came to town this past week and on Monday auditioned almost 100 kids for about 50 parts. Emme was lucky enough to have been chosen, and she spent the rest of her afternoons after school this week rehearsing, along with all the other kids.
It was a fun time. The show ran just over an hour. While the main part of Balloo the bear was played by the theater director, all the other parts were played by the kids. What's more, four kids acted as Assistant Directors to help corral everyone else and get the work done. There was singing, there were dance numbers, there was lots of dialogue.
The kids did amazingly well, given the limited amount of time they had to get organized and rehearse. They did two shows on Saturday, and hardly any of them missed their lines during either performance.
I'll get a few photos up when I can find my camera's data cable. It's around here someplace.
