Today was Eva’s second performance of The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever. She played one of the speaking parts characters, Eli. She did an excellent job in that role. She even had a bit of a singing solo. The thing was, she did all the practicing on her own. I didn’t hear her practicing all through her rehearsal session. When I heard her at the play I was so impressed. She worked very hard on this role and was so happy with her accomplishment. I couldn’t have been prouder.

Today was Eva’s final performance for her Hullabaloo theater group. Our friend Nicole runs the program out of her house for 8 weeks and at the end of it the kids have a performance at An Unlikely Story. Eva has been in the program a couple of times now and it is really nice. The kids learn about some history, some acting, singing and performing. They sang some covers, original songs and then did some theater and performance games. I was very impressed with how Eva was on stage. She is showing more poise and confidence with each new performance. She also added in some ballet moves as that is something that she loves and has been doing since she started dance. She also incorporated Hip Hop dancing into the performance. We could hear her because she is projecting better, too.

After the performance Allison had to go to the Eighth Grade Dinner and I took the kids to KC’s Classic Burger Bar where it was Kid’s Night which meant that there were free milkshakes with the purchase of every kid’s meal. I got an Oreo one and the kids split a Chocolate Cookie Dough one. It wasn’t quite a huge hit with the kids but they did like them.
