Catching up #7 - A little something more for our calendar

Of course our calendar is already full!! And yes, we just added something else to it. (Go ahead and laugh now.)

I mentioned this briefly a few posts ago (the one for Beauty and the Beast). We are going to be part of a charity organization through Columbia Children's Theatre, called CCT S.T.A.R. (Student Thespians Achieving Results). I love the idea of this program, though admittedly we don't have a lot of extra time these days.

The first meeting was in February. And the first show is going to be with just homeschoolers. Mrs. Pamela's thoughts were we (homeschoolers) have a more flexible schedule and can meet on days others cannot. Since the first show is going to be in May, she wanted to have some flexibility with the meeting dates. During (or after, I'm confused a bit here) the show, the program will be opened up to all those who would like to participate.

The first show is going to be a talent show. Our girls are going to do two skits. One skit they are creating with friends of theirs (yes, they have some) about "the other dwarfs". They are still working on a skit, but I think it is going be pretty good. The other skit will be just Jesse and Chloe doing an "invisible woman" skit. I don't think they have started writing it down yet, but they have been working on ideas during car rides. Both should be fun. I cannot wait to see what the other talented students are going to come up with, but I know it is going to be a good show.

Now, you ask, "what charity are you supporting"? Well, that has not been determined yet. We have a meeting this weekend. The students are suppose to give a presentation for the charity they would like to support. After all the students give their presentations, a vote will be made and then we will know what charity we will be supporting. (Don't even ask me if they have a charity or a presentation yet! And Mrs. Pamela wanted it by today!!!) {sigh}

Right up Jesse's alley is a contest for the cover of the playbill. I have to admit I really love Jesse's idea. Those will be voted on Saturday also.


The talented crew of students for our first show!



Our fearless leader, Mrs. Pamela
