A Star Is Born

On February 9th (I have been waiting for Eric to download the video from his phone, before blogging about it!)  Megan was in a play at school called Fairy Tale Fiasco at school. It was written, cast, and performed entirely by middle school students, with the help of Mr. Miles, who is such a good teacher it leaves me speechless. If any of you have a middle schooler next year going to Somerset, you will not be disappointed! Anyway.....She auditioned and then after getting the part, stayed after school at least once a week for quite a few months to practice.

She played the part of Assistant Director:

Hello Gorgeous!!!

Her character, assistant director, desired with her whole heart to be the actual director. To that purpose she had to copy the actual directors movements, actions, clothing, and at times words.

The set:

Megan and her counterpart, the director:

Here is my favorite scene:

Megan loved EVERY.SINGLE.MINUTE! She couldn't stop smiling, and kept saying how much fun she had. She did a great job, and we loved watching her.

The students did the play as a charity event, and charged admission. They ended up raising $380 that they donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital (which happens to be my favorite charity!).
