Play Try-Outs

Noah & Emma had the opportunity to try out for a play. Emma was so excited when she received a call-back. They sent us a monologue that she had one night to memorize. She practiced and I was so amazed at how naturally she got into character with correct intonation and body movement. She went to the call-back eager to show her stuff and came home in tears because they didn't want to see what they'd asked her to prepare. Instead they had her do the piece she'd done the first time. She hadn't practiced that and so it probably wasn't her best job. We both agree that it was a good experience and we'll try again...In the meantime, she continues to recite the monologue to Rilla frequently. Rilla continues to be her most captive audience and showers Emma with lots of giggles which is her way of applauding.
