STEPH DEROSA: WARM AND FUZZY OF THE DAY >>>
Approximately one week ago a group from the Missoula Children’s Theatre traipsed into Tacoma-land to meet what talent our grand city had to offer. There were tryouts held for the upcoming children’s play The Little Mermaid. Oh, and by “upcoming†I mean: the very next weekend. The entire cast, minus one main adult lead, was comprised of local kids with a knack for acting.
You read that right: ONE WEEK for practicing, memorizing lines, learning positions, rehearsing the songs, and gaining the confidence to perform. That’s a tough job, and a tall order if you ask me. That’s how Missoula Children’s Theatre rolls. They have an extremely strong travel team who tour from Canada to Guam, recruiting child actor-wannabes and amazing all communities.
KAke and I, along with some very cool family members, took our little ladies to the 1 p.m. performance yesterday at Theatre on the Square. We laughed and smiled the entire time. There were a ton of fish puns: “I’ll get you a birthday cod or maybe a nice bouquet of flounders.â€
The play was cleverly written, and our 5-year-old girls’ eyes were glued to the stage. I have one word for this performance, and for the Missoula Children’s Theatre: Remarkable.
I give all of you a very warm standing ovation. Keep up the good work!
