The Missoula Children's Theater came to M & E's school last week and both girls were lucky enough to get parts in their "Princess and the Pea" production. It was based VERY loosely on the original story, so don't worry, there were parts for boys. :)
Try-outs were on Monday, and M was given two parts, so she then had rehearsal from 3:50 (when school gets out) unti 8:15pm on T, W, and Th nights! E had an age appropriate part and "just" had to be there from 3:50-5:50 on W and Th. Friday, they were kind enough to dismiss the entire cast at 5:50 so they could go trick or treating! Saturday, we were at the high school for dress rehearsal at 9am, and then they had performances at 1 and 4pm, so that was a long day to cap off our long week!
M's roles were "Fuschia, the Flower Gardener" and one of four "Phony Princesses." She had some great lines and really played them up. We got many compliments on her expressiveness! E was a Dust Bunny (lived under the princess' bed). No lines, but she danced and sang a couple of songs with great cuteness!
As you can imagine, they ate it all up and had a great week. I couldn't believe they never once complained about being tired or having to wait their turn. We have a professionally recorded DVD of the show if you ever need some cheap entertainment!

thats so fun!! I bet they were both totally in their element! I was terrified of stuff like that as a kid but these girls - they were born for the big screen!
I love the outfits too, how fun for every body!
That's a great idea -- get all that craziness done in a week! Looks like they had a great time and they look great.
What cute pictures! I'm so glad they got the opportunity to be apart of this. What a great experience for them both.
