Went to Murfreesboro TN this Sunday, to watch the junior production of "Guys and Dolls". Senior Minion #1 was not only a stage hand, but had a small part, and it was her first time on stage, as a member of the cast. (She really enjoys doing the set builds and tech stuff, like lights and sound, but she's got a really good singing voice, so they wanted her for that.) And since she'd really trashed her left ankle (again) she couldn't help with set tear-down, so I sorta got volunteered to help with that.
And she's been asked to do tech (lights) for Alice in Wonderland which they plan on doing in October. Pretty doggone impressive, for a 16-YO girl, I think. But I'm her grandpa, what the heck do I know, right?
