Where's Your Smile, Crocodile?

Anna was in the cast of a play called "Where's Your Smile, Crocodile?" through our local Civic Theatre.  This is the same academy that she participated in early this year.  She had such a wonderful time, she's been begging to do it again ever since.

You may be asking yourself, "Why are they paying someone to teach their child how to be dramatic, when it's obvious she could already teach Meryl Streep a thing of two???"  My answer is...hmmmm....that's a good question.  Seriously though, she's having the time of her life, and it's obviously good for her self-esteem.




Last Thursday was the final night of class, culminating with a performance.  Anna's role was Kyle's Mom.  Her lines were, "Where's your smile, Kyle?  Why don't you go outside and play.  You'll soon find it again."  She nailed it!  We were so proud.  The kids each drew what they thought their character looked like and ironed it on to t-shirts with their character name printed above.  It was very cute.  The play lasted less than 10 minutes, which was just about right.








In the audience was a surprise guest...Ethan, Anna's fiancee.  He brought her flowers.  They were her favorite color.  Awww, he remembered!

It was a great experience for her AND us, and we'll certainly be signing up for another session in the near future.
