we'll make history, as sure as dogs can fly...
Our son, Aaron, who turned 11 this week, made his stage debut tonight in the (5th-8th grade) Drama Club's original musical called "Come Sail Away". The musical features the music of Styx and Phil Collins and ran 90 minutes. Aaron played the lead role of Dennis Collins, a rock star who feels like he's sold out for money and wants to find more meaning in his life, so he goes to a tropical paradise called Brazasia, where he discovers what really matters.
The cast has been in rehearsals since February. We spent this last week running like chickens with our heads off to rehearsal after rehearsal. Mike and I (and many other parents) were helping the kids build sets and costumes right up until the 11th hour. But it was all worth it. The kids did a fantastic job! And it really was a lot of fun working with the kids and getting to know some of the other parents.
Of course Mike caught it all on video and we'll be burning DVDs for fellow cast members and for extended family. We are so proud of all the hard, hard work all of the kids put into this. And SO glad our schedule has a chance of returning to normal! ☺
