Peter Pan

Since the beginning of January, Kalli has been busy working at least twice a week on her play, Peter Pan.  She was so excited after auditions when she found out she would be playing the title role.  The last two weeks have been a blur as she has been busy with rehearsals almost every night and working so hard with the rest of the cast to perfect their play.  All that hard work paid off the last two nights.  They actually put it on three times; Thursday night, Friday during the day to Westmore students and then last night.  I wanted so badly to have a good seat and see Kalli in action that I started standing in line at 5:15 p.m.  It was schedule to start until 6:30.  We got front row seats (thanks again Mrs. Cooper for making that happen) and I was thrilled (and my extended family) to be able to be so close to see Kalli.  I had seen little bits and pieces of the play when I had come to practices but I had never seen it put together and I had never seen it all the way through.  We were all in for a big treat.  My husband commented that he thought he was better than their last year's production, "Annie"  All my little nieces and nephews and my little boys were mesmerized.  The play held their attention  the entire time.  My six-year-old niece, Kirsten said it the best; she said, "We have Peter Pan at home but this one is a lot better! It is so funny!"  The kids thoroughly enjoyed Captain Hook and the crocodile.  It was just so entertaining to watch and so much fun.  I was so proud of all the kids and the adults that put so much work into this production.  Mrs. Harrison did a fantastic job with their costumes. It looked so great.  I cannot praise it enough but now it is done.  Wow.  What will Kalli do with all that free time now?  Time to work on her middle ages project for school! I will have to post that later...it is a big project in the works but now we will have time to work on it!  Kudos for a Job well done!  Kalli was  a great Peter Pan. I will try and post a video of opening seconds of Peter Pan.  Her short haircut really did make her look like Peter Pan.  A mom came up to me afterwards and told me that she was trying to convince her little boy that Kalli was a girl and not a boy.  I told the little boy, "I have four boys and Kalli is my only girl" and he said, "Oh." It was kind of cute.  Great Job Westmore and great job Kalli for a job so well done.
