If you have ever been in the theater, you will know that before any performance, they tell you "Break a leg" for good luck. Well, if you do well in a play, I figure you tell the actor that they "broke a leg!"
Princess Five was in a beginning drama class this semester at school. Since being in that class, she has tried out for three different plays or scenes for performance and competitions and gotten parts in all of them and is going head to head for a seat to the next competition. She has been talking about drama, plays, and scenes for weeks.
If you remember last summer, I posted about her being in the summer play "Grease" where she did a wonderful job. Click here for that post.
For years we have been in the community plays and any stage opportunity the girls can find, they take. They LOVE being on stage.
Here is a post about her being in "Oliver" the summer before last with our exchange student.
Her first play was "The king and I" when she was about two. She was the youngest child of the King and would run on stage and leap up into her fathers arms and he would twirl her and pat her on the head etc.
Of course, watching a cute two year old doing a move like that would bring "oohs and aahs" from the audience and I think that was when the theater "bug" attacked her.
She was in a Shakespeare play as Ophelia last year they did at the park. Here is a post about that.
Here is the first link I posted when she picked up the guitar for the first time. Just over a year later, here she is on stage singing in front of a crowd. It is amazing to me where she went in a year. From never playing to writing songs and performing in front of large audiences.
Princess not only can do all three of those things but she is beautiful as well. As her mom, I can totally have the bragging rites on this. I am sure I am not the only one that thinks this. :-)
