A Life Filled With Love & Joy: Twinderella ~ Caroline's 1st Play

Did you know that Cinderella has a long lost twin brother named Bob living in the same kingdom with his own wicked stepfamily? The separated siblings have enlisted the services of the Fairy Godmother, the Godfather (he ain’t no fairy!) and four enchanted gerbils to help wile their way into the exclusive royal festivities of Wychwood-under-Ooze. Bob has his sights set on Prince Percy’s all-kingdom baseball game, while Cinderella eyes the birthday gala for Princess Petunia. When the two strangers disappear at midnight after Cinderella hits a game winning homerun, the search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat!
That's the press info for the play and I figured I'd help all out with a little info since most have NOT heard about Cinderella's twin brother, Bob. Caroline's school put on this play and Caroline jumped at the chance to be in it. I always said she was a born actress! The Kindergartners were woodland creatures (or just funny animals) and Caroline knew she wanted to be a fawn. She did so well and loved the rehearsals. She loved hanging out with the older kids and really took her role seriously. A few times she was the only creature on stage at rehearsals doing what she was supposed to.
The week leading up to the play was touch and go since she had the flu but we made it! George and I struggled but we all attended Opening Night. Nana, Grampy, Aunt Barbara and Uncle Richard came too!
Caroline did fabulous on stage, even though she forgot to put her hood/deer head on. Backstage she was a little bored since they had to stay back there until the end. She was also pretty tired from recouping form the flu and being up way past her bedtime. All of the kids put on a great performance! The second night Nana and I attended and Caroline remembered her head :) She did wonderful both on stage and backstage. Monday morning the kids put on a play for the whole school and two other schools (she's not sure which they were). She was finally allowed to watch the whole play while she wasn't performing and it was fun since she had no clue about most of the play after her part so she came home and repeated line after line. Next year we'll let her stay for a few rehearsals so she knows whats going on :)

We are so proud of Caroline for not only having outstanding performances, but for going out there and trying something new that could be a little scary, in front of all of those people. She took it in stride and loved every bit of it. She took her part very seriously and behaved so nicely and everyone around her loved working with her. She was nervous when she was sick because she so wanted to show off all she had learned and she did it. She's a star in our book, that's for sure! :)
