Shannon, my eldest daughter, tried out for "The Little Mermaind Jr." with First Stage Theatre Company.  It is the first play/musical thing she has ever auditioned for and she got a part.

80 kids tried out and only 50 or so got parts so it wasn't a total lock to get one.  It is a small part, she is one of many seagulls, but I'm still stoked for her.  She has never acted before so I'm glad it's a small part so she can get her feet wet and get a feel for how things work and see if she really likes it.

If she does then this will be a great beginning for her ands he can learn and grow as a singer and actor.  I'm proud of her for even trying out in the first place.  I've always wanted to be in a play but I've never tried out.  Earlier this year, when she told me she was going to try out, she inspired me to find something to try for so we shall see.  She had thought there was a group forming called "Second Stage" which is sort of like first stage but for adults but it sounds like it is for adult alumni of First Stage so I'll have to find something else. 

Anyway, I'm really happy for her and I can't wait to see the show. I'm not sure when the show will be performed but I'll update folks with that info when I have it.
