Theatre Mom
This has been my week to be a theatre mom. I’m a really sad sort of theatre mom, I’m not allowed to actually enter said theatre nor actually watch, just provide transportation. That tends to chew up the evening!
Eldest smug son Ben auditioned for a community theatre production of The Secret Garden on Tuesday. (Many thanks to MWT who recommended it – we love the music and are looking forward to the show.)
He immediately made it into the ensemble – the chorus of ghosts who sing throughout the show. He also was called back on Thursday to audition for a cast part. He had come down with a cold, hurting his singing range, but still won a minor supporting cast part.
He’s pretty excited, and so are we. Performances are in May.
In other updates, I’m still working on redesigning the graphic part of this site, although I may still use this basic template. All my concepts so far have not been successful.

I’m with you in spirit, Jeri. My Smart Boy is currently appearing in “Urinetown, the Muscial.”

Yay! Back to posting, not just fighting with the site.
I have a community theatre within walking distance. I’ve been toying around with thinking about maybe going over there to inquire about parts, but just haven’t gotten around to it, quite yet.
Maybe soon.

Wooo cool. Are you going to be allowed to watch this one?

Janiece, that’s very cool! I bet the Hot Family will be out in force cheering for him.
Tom, I actually was thinking that too… not performing, not so much my thing, but helping with PR, or box office, or whatever.
MWT, yes, we can watch, although we’re not allowed to cheer embarrassingly. We just can’t attend any rehearsals or hang around the playhouse. Mostly, he takes a bus to rehearsals, but the evening practices run later than the buses do, so there’s an element of taxi driving involved.
