Auditions

Grace had her first audition today. She did a great job. Audition for what you may ask. Well....

Thursday last week Grace and two other girls from her class were measured for a play. They didn't tell the girls what one and if they did Grace didn't remember. She had no clue what play it was, who was doing it or where. So I figured I would get a note or something later on. Well Friday came and went and we didn't hear anything. Then we left for the weekend and kinda forgot about it. When we got back on Monday though there was a message from school. Grace had been chosen to audition for a school production of.... I'm not going to tell you yet. The music teacher and principal looked at the girls they thought might be able to do the parts, who had a strong singing voice and who had parental support. It was not an open call. It will be a joint production between Will Carleton Academy and Hillsdale Academy. Auditions were tonight from 6-9pm. I had to scramble to find a sitter for the rest of the kids since Doug is in Grand Rapids till Wednesday. Katelyn came through for me and I was able to take Grace.

It was all very business like. They had her sing, dance and do some line. I think she did great. It just boils down to what they want for the part. The girls were trying out for the last two roles to be cast. There were 7 girls at auditions tonight. Two older, three including her from her class and two younger. She has a shot but it will depend on if they want an 8 year old to play the part of a 7 year old or if they want a 11 or 12 year old to play the part of a 7 year old. We shall see. I will be sure to post as soon as we know. The play will be April (yes April) 4,5 &6 so mark your calendars if she gets the part. You won't want to miss this one.

Do you want to know what play she auditioned for? Can you guess? See Renee's Blog "Peyton's Place for a hint.
