At the end of the school year, Allie brought home a flyer for this play. She wanted to try out because Mr. Davis (her choir teacher) invited her. Mason thought it would be fun so he went too. They both did great at their auditions, and were given parts in the play. Mason was to play Dan, one of Joseph’s brothers, and Allie would be part of the children’s chorus.
This was a pretty professional production for a little local theater. The people who run the theater have done stuff on Broadway, and were able to make this look great. They even got the actual coat that Joseph wore in the original Broadway production.
The kids had to practice a lot. There was only about a month of practice before the play started. But they both worked hard and did a great job. They did 11 performances! The director was delighted with our kids. She remarked how willing Mason was to help with anything, how hard he worked, and what a good job he did for never having done this before. So naturally we were proud of him. He also rearranged his summer to do this.
Unfortunately, we can’t show any video or pictures from the play due to licensing restrictions. But we do have some pictures of the kids and the cast. I think they’ll be doing more – Mason wants to sign up with the fall production. You can find out more about the theater group at http://www.justoffbwy.com.
