Go Fish!

Alayna participated in her school's first grade play Tuesday night.

Go Fish!
by John Jacobson and John Higgins

A Musical Play for Young Singers. A Tuna Fish that can't carry a tune? A Star Fish that can't get an acting job? A seven-legged Octopus? A Zebra Fish with spots? A Tiger Shark who wants to be friends with everyone? Join in the aquatic fun as little Tiger Shark and his unique collection of friends discover how their differences make them each special.

Alayna worked hard remembering lines and creating different characters for the auditions in March.  She was given the part of . . .
Angel Fish.
Once she received her script she diligently went to work memorizing her lines and even deciding how she would deliver them.  She went to early morning rehearsals for two weeks.  She volunteered her mama to help with the set.  After 10 weeks of practice Alayna made her debut on the stage.

She was excited to have wings.  We also used a large amount of glitter and a little makeup.  I know we are the proud parents, but I think she did really well.  All of her lines were memorized, delivered well and, more importantly, audibly.

She was extra excited to have her best friend and favourite babysitter, Lindsay there.  Thank you for coming Lindsay.
