Twas The Night Before Christmas-WAG

-Lydia and Grace-

Earlier in the fall Lydia auditioned for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' with Wylie Acting Group for Children. She got the part of 'Holly' and was super excited to be a part of another play. It takes a lot of work with memorizing lines and going to all the rehearsals. By the time the performance day comes around Lydia is ready for it to be done. However once she starts performing she wishes they had more than three shows. She LOVES it!

 I don't mean to brag but she does an awesome job and we are so proud of her hard work and the courage that it takes to get up in front of people.

The kids along with Dad got to come and see opening night! -as usual Cooper is either not looking at the camera or is making a scowl. :)

Lydia's second grade teacher-Miss Burns (Lydia loves her so much.) and the two directors, Miss Nancy and Miss Melanie.

Mrs. Claus Lives At Our Home

Lydia (aka Mrs. Claus) just got done with her three performances of Rudolph with WAG. She thoroughly enjoys acting and being a part of the magic on stage. She has made so many great new friends and it really has been such a great experience in building confidence and skills in public speaking. She preformed like a star and we are so proud her. All her hard word practicing and getting to rehearsals paid off. She is glad however to be done with the white hairspray-she hated coming home from dress rehearsals and performances and having to wash it out.



  

Lydia had a lot of support- her kindergarten teacher and her current 2nd grade teacher came, two neighbors, and a friend from school. Lydia got a lot of compliments on her performance, one person even said she was "Ho Ho Holarious."

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Lydia had the opportunity to be a Cheetah as one of Aslan's followers in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe with the Wylie Acting Group for Children. She LOVED it!

These are pictures from the "Curtain Call." When we were driving home after the first of three performances she turned to me and said, "Mom when I came running out to bow I was so happy for myself I wanted to cry, I just loved it so much."

The audience got to meet and congratulate the cast in the receiving line after the show.

and Nana got to come out and see the play.

Lydia enjoyed everything about the play and working with WAG and already plans to audition for the next one. We are so proud of you Lydia!
