In late August Emily tried out for the play Willie Wonka Jr. She was lucky enough to be picked to be an Oompa Loompa (her dream role) and she was thrilled to pieces! The practice schedule was extensive, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30-8:30 and Saturdays from 1-4. This does not include "tech week" when there was practice every day for 7 days straight!
Emily LOVED every minute! She never complained about going, she couldn't wait to go every night! This weekend she had 4 performances and she had a 5th at a local school in Manchester.
It was great to see my quiet girl on the stage, singing and doing all the right moves! The Majestic Theater gave Emily a wonderful experience and they want to kids to feel like every part is important, not matter how small. The OLs actually were on the stage 6 times, singing every time, and Emily had a little solo!
It took me 30 minutes to do these pin curls, so she could wear that awesome wig
3 of the 4 shows were sold out!
