Katie was able to perform in her first theater play, The Little Mermaid, put on by the children's theater company CAPA the weekend of June 28th. She had a performance at 7:00pm Friday night, 2:00 and 7:00pm Saturday, and a final performance 2:00 on Sunday. Sam and I took the kids to the first show Friday night where I took tons of pictures so that I could relax on my Saturday night date with Sam watching it alone. Emily and Matthew loved the show (Bex stayed with a babysitter) and were very sad they only got to see it one time!
Katie never lets me do her hair so when I found out she needed to have her hair up in a bun, I was thrilled!!!
Just to let you know, Katie had to try-out for a part in the play by preparing 2 songs to perform before the judges. She was accepted and got the role of Fish Schoolteacher and a Dancing Chef. Try-outs in March, practices began early April. She would have rehearsal from 5:30 - 8:30 pm on various Thursday and Friday nights, also 9:00 - 2:00pm on a few Saturdays. It was every night the last week prior to show and all their hard work definitely paid off!
Her hair is so thick and long and absolutely wonderful to twist up into a bun! We did performance makeup with blue eye shadow, mascara, pink cheeks and red lipstick. She loved wearing makeup which she doesn't get to do regularly.
She was in the opening scene and easy to find as a fish school teacher.

Such a fun song!

One of our favorite song by far! Katie is a natural up there on stage and really loved participating in this program!
