The Zyriek Zoo: Charlotte's Web

The day was finally here for Anna's stage debut in Charlotte's Web! She had tryouts back in February and has been practicing after school since the beginning of March. She had several parts. The part she was given first was one of Charlotte's spider babies, Joy. This was a speaking part and she was with her friends Livvy and Maddie as the other spider babies. Anna was also a judge at the fair (small lines) and part of the crowd. She loved changing costumes and having hair and makeup. If you know Anna these days, she loves to do different hairstyles. She has three different ones in the show. Luckily, one of the 7th graders, Cameron, loves to do hair as well, so that worked out well.

The premiere was on Sunday afternoon. Both sets of local grandparents attended as well as her friend Emily from her class. Monday night she had our friends Zack and Lauren in the audience and for Tuesday's finale she had some friends from class. We went each night and Caroline loved it so much. She did not know the story and enjoyed the surprises the first night and knowing what to expect the following nights.

Anna did a great job. She was great with the cast and seemed to really enjoy the show. Of course this has piqued her interest to do more shows! We will have to see if lower school students will be needed for any of the upper school productions next year. Of course, there is also the 5th grade production which this year was Peter Pan. A star is born!
