Bebop with Aesop

Thursday evening, the family attended Bebop with Aesop, a musical performed by the elementary school students. Back in December, the girls auditioned for parts in the musical, and have been practicing every Wednesday since then. It all paid off, because the musical was great, and was very professionally done. The kids with speaking parts even had wireless microphone headsets. Aesop and some Greek goddesses retold several of his fables, each with it's own catchy clever little song.

Grace was cast as one of the sassy Greek goddesses/muses, and was present on stage for the whole performance. When we entered the theater, she was standing as a statue against the wall. She did some narrating, sang a little solo, and looked beautiful!

Sarah got the part of Antonia the Ant in the fable about the grasshopper who played all summer, while the ants worked hard to prepare for the winter. Sarah got to reprimand the grasshopper and she did it with attitude! She was so cute and spunky.

The final song...I actually got both of the girls in one picture.
After the show, one of the directors came up to me and told me how talented both Grace and Sarah are. They really had a fun time performing, and after the show, they were a little disappointed that all the practicing and performing is over now until next year! I'm so happy they had this opportunity to develop some talents! Ladies, you both did a fantastic job! I love you!
