Kokonut Kapers

Last fall, Elizabeth joined the drama club at her school.  The youngest grade that is allowed to participate in the annual play is 3rd grade, so she was very excited to be part of the chorus.  She attended drama practice once a week from December through the end of April and as the play drew closer and closer, she got more and more excited.  There were three other chorus members, all girls in her class.  I will admit that I didn't exactly have high expectations when I volunteered to help out with dress rehearsal; and that I didn't really pay too close attention during the dress rehearsal, just videotaping now and then.  But when the show started I, along with everyone else in the audience, was fixated on her.  No joke.  Now, I'm not trying to suggest that she stole the show from the main performers - no doubt, their voices and their ability to deliver lines were fantastic.  But she completely threw herself into her role and had a fabulous time - and everyone noticed!!  I was so proud of how well she did and so happy to see her glowing as everyone praised her during Intermission and at the end of the show both nights.  I can't wait to see what she does next year!!
The play itself was excellent and I was so impressed with how well all of the students did.  We have some seriously talented kids at our school!
(I took these videos at the dress rehearsal - I thought that the performances from the two shows were much, much better.)

This song was hysterical.
