I grew up in Drama Club and in a theatrical family so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when my daughter was begging to be in a musical. She announced one day that it has been her "Lifelong dream to be on the stage." Also she wanted to be in Hairspray. Of course my response was "then someday you will be dear." and left it at that until I found out about the TheatriKids I Love Musicals camp. Not only did it fulfill her dream, they were willing to take my 5 year old Diva!
Every morning she stood at the door ready to go 30 minutes early script in hand with such joy in her eyes. Every afternoon she bubbled over with stories of the games they played and the funny things that happened in rehearsal. I loved hearing about how the kids worked together an that it was a true team effort. They all participated in the casting and the costume selection.
The final show was very impressive and it was obvious how much work they did and how much the kids respected each other. This is a testament to the instructor Erin who set clear expectations of the kids while keeping a fun creative environment. I of course loved watching my baby perform but what I loved most was seeing her work so hard at something she loved.
Even my older daughter who is very nervous about going on stage and tends to be shy asked if she could take a TheatriKids camp next year because it looked really fun.
