I went to see a play with Mommy today. We had a nice date. I got dressed really handsome in my button down shirt. We headed off to Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater to see “The Little Engine That Could”. We had awesome seats about 20 rows up right in the middle!!! I was really interested in all the lighting and how that worked. I really want a back stage tour someday. I sat really still and listened to the story. I even started to sing with the performers! They really engages and involved the audience. I liked how the conductor kept changing hats to mean he was with a new train.
I THINK I CAN!
After the play I got the chance to stay late and meet the actors and actresses! I waited very patiently and was so excited when it was finally my turn. It was neat to see the actors up close and see all their makeup. You could even see where their microphones were tapes to their faces!
They were so very nice and asked me lots of questions about the show. I gave honest feedback and told them I liked the monkey the best because his arms were funny! Red Dress Doll was a bit scary to me but I liked the Clown! 🙂
The Teddy Bear had really neat make-up too! I asked Mommy if it was forever make-up because he was all sweaty and the make-up was still there. Mommy giggled and explained.
My favorite… MONKEY! He was super nice to me and spent a few minutes talking about stage lighting and all the things that go on behind the scene! It was really fun!
I want to be in a play someday. I want to go back to Ruth Eckerd soon to see another play as well! 🙂
