Ready to Tap For ANNIE

nother week and the cast will be ready! Jessica, my oldest grand-daughter, is seen to the left of the picture, with some of her friends. They are grounds-keepers in live theater for Annie and will be featured several times as tappers!

My daughter and her family have been participating in Christian Youth Theater for several years. My daughter, a professional pianist, has thoroughly enjoyed working with these groups of 80-90 children, as she both plays for them and occasionally directs the music.

I can not say enough good things about Christian Youth Theater. The children are trained in so many areas! Each child can find/use their 'talent', whether it be in making props, sewing costumes, singing, working with lighting, publicity, acting, group participation, playing instruments, helping with sound effects, or using specialized talents like tapping, acrobatics and etc.

They must attend classes before they can be part of a performance. Adults volunteer to work with the children and I am amazed at the number of professional adults who give of their time to train.

So, next weekend, I head over the hills to go see ANNIE!
