You're Going to Hollywood

When Brett first suggested Chapel take Acting Lessons at the newly established Charleston Acting Studio, I was hesitant. Acting lessons? What will they teach her? Would she actually learn how to act? I took Chapel for a quick tour and immediately knew this was a great fit for my little girl who is always singing, dancing and putting on skits for us at home. What really convinced me was the fact that at the end of the 8 week session, she would actually be in a performance!

Once classes started, Chapel looked forward to it every week. She was cast as Boxcar Bill in The Buckaroo Banjo of Hamelin's Butte - a country/western version of the Pied Piper. The play took place yesterday and we were all surprised at how professional the kids were - their hard work was so evident and payed off! Chapel has already said she will return next week for the second session of classes. I can't wait until the next performance and who knows, one day we may see this little girl on the big screen!

There were several song and dance numbers.....

Chapel delivering her lines to "Dolly".
Another song and dance routine. The hat was too big and kept slipping, however Chapel just went with it and kept on singing and dancing!

A captive audience. Chapel insisted I bring along her two favorite cats, Snowflake and AJ to watch the performance!
