Wizard of Oz!

Quincy auditioned for a play at Heritage Theater...and she made it!  We were so so so excited for her.  She was so brave.  We decided to have her learn "I whistle a Happy Tune" for her audition.  Sydney Smith came over and helped her add a little choreograph to it and it was darling.  She marched in there and sang it in front of the 3 judges like it was nothing.  I don't even think she was nervous!  This is totally her thing!

After waiting for what seemed like forever, we found out that she had been cast as a munchkin!  Over 90 kids tried out and they cast 24. She was so happy!  She could not wait for rehearsals to start.  They practiced twice a week for months!  Towards the end they practiced every day for a couple of weeks.  Never once did she mind it.  She loved every second that she was there.

They performed it for a packed house 17 times!  She was truly in the height of her glory! She sang her heart out during the play and even was the only munchkin to get a speaking part.  One line of fame!  I think this sealed the deal for her, we have a little actress on our hands.  She can't wait to try out for another play.  This has been so fun for our family...we have never done anything in theater, but I think Quincy will cure us of that!

Great Job Quincy, we are proud of you!
