Seussified!

Abbie's theater production of the Seussification of Romeo and Juliet took place on Friday! As I mentioned, she was excited to score the role of Narrator #1.

Looking very Seussy

It sounds like a pretty small role, but it is actually pretty central to the show. She and her counterpart, Narrator #2, were hands down the best part of the entire production.

Narrator #1 and #2

You can't see it in any of the photos, but they wore Thing 1 and Thing 2 signs on their backs. They were definitely the most "Seussy" of all of the characters.

 

Abbie loved her little pigtails, which were actually separate hairpieces that she referred to as "fuzzy caterpillars." Unfortunately, they did not allow us to video the performance and we don't know yet whether there was a professional video or not.

  

So, we have lots of photos, but they really can't convey how great she was in her role. As we walked around the reception, though, waiting for her to finish changing, etc., we overheard numerous people all talking about "that girl" that was so great at projecting, etc.

Her good friend Ava was kind enough to attend the performance and she made her a little bead bracelet that says, "Narrator one," which is very sweet. Abbie loved having her there and seems to really like the bracelet because she has been wearing it ever since.

Although she is enrolled in theater for the rest of the year, this was their only performance, which I find odd. Apparently, however, the big excitement in the spring is the opportunity to perform a monologue for a talent scout, but we don't have much for details yet, so I'll have to update you as I learn more.
