Actors in our midst





          Now that Elijah is 8, Lydia almost 6 and Lanie 3, it's always a treat to actually see all 3 of them playing pretend together.  Elijah is often too old for that, or at least too old to play princess or school or mommy/daddy like the girls always want to do, so it was a shocker when all 3 of them pulled off a 1/2 hour of play practice and a show "The Heist" (my title) later that night.  Yes, the plot was a bit thin and the dialogue a little light, but overall, best play ever about a boy who steals gold and chapstick from two sleeping girls.  There is even a fight scene. It really is not an event to be missed.  So, if you have the time, check it out though at 3 minutes and 52 seconds, it may be only a kids play that a mom can love.  If you do find the time, beware, Lydia talks with her back to the audience. I guess it's time for drama classes.

  1. Roman and Lil LOVED it!!!! They thought the fight scene was VERY exciting. Lil's favorite part was when Lydi asked who took her chapstick. I liked when she decided to call 911. A crucial step in any burglary.
