We love you Thing One, oh yes we do
This spring Thing One landed a spot in the school musical, Bye Bye Birdie. He played a policeman with one line, but made appearances in several scenes and even shared a quick dance with Rosie in the “Spanish Rose” scene. (Family blogs are for bragging. Repeat as needed.)
All the cast, orchestra, and production positions were filled by middle school students, who all did a fantastic job — and gained valuable experience for future school plays and musicals. It’s been a challenge balancing the rehearsal schedule with homework and other activities, but Thing One survived and had a lot of fun in the process. We’re all a bit sleep-deprived though, and looking forward to less busy days … at least until the auditions begin for next year’s winter play.
