Matt, Addie, and Frankie tried out for the Newtown Players Seussified Christmas Carol. They had so many little girls try out, that frabkie didn’t make it. This time. She was a total good sport about it and never said a thing about it being unfair. She’s so sweet.
The play was a lot of work and after a few weeks, I started to get a little grumbly.
But they were having so much fun, and I’m so grateful they were able to participate, that it wasn’t hard to readjust and change my expectations.
Basically, I had no expectations. I let go of all December “have to’s” and just enjoyed time with the little girls.
Sometimes I won’t do things because I want to wait for all 3 girls to be together, but I let that go too.
The cast all got along so well, and they were really fun. I volunteered a few times, for rehearsals, and then for one show, and everyone was so great.
I wasn’t sure how many shows we should even go to. But we made our best guess and got tickets for all 3 Saturday matinees. Those, plus the ones we volunteered for, made it so that we got to see the show quite a bit, and I loved each time.
Addie was ready to sign up for another show right away, but we all needed a break after Seussified.
I’m so glad Addie’s first theatrical experience was such a good one!
