One classic tale by Charles Dickens
One timid little boy who says, “I think I’ll try it!”
A cast and crew of 41 kids
Twenty rehearsals
One seasoned director
An undisclosed amount of post-rehearsal trips to McDonalds for starving little actors
Many nights of tag-team parenting
Fourteen hours of tech week rehearsals
Countless new friends
Hundreds of trips across town (at least it felt that way)
One murder scene
Two original songs
One big brother on stage crew
One “not-so-timid anymore” little pick-pocket
Two incredible performances
One awesome cast party
And one little boy who could use a nap!
This was Ellison's first foray into the world of theater and mom and dad could not be more proud! Special thanks to our director, Mrs. Therese Burazin, who helped shape and mold our young hooligan. Photos were taken at our local Home School Drama Troupe's production of Oliver Twist. Several of the above photos are courtesy of my friend Tom of Tom Otte Imaging. (Thanks Tom and thanks for the lens!)
