Yesterday I went to Caroline\u2019s school to be a chaperone for her class trip to a local theater so they could see a stage performance of Alice in Winterland<\/i> by Bits and Pieces Puppetry Company. We arrived at the theater in good time and our seats were upgraded to the front and center of the theater. One of the puppeteers came out and asked Caroline\u2019s teacher if she could pick four students to help them out on stage with part of the show. Of course every hand went up. Her teacher looked careful around and started calling out names. The fourth named called was Caroline.<\/p>\n
The four chosen children were taken backstage before the show and given their tasks. Caroline was given the \u201clead\u201d since she was the tallest of the group. They came on as books and marched in with Alice as a book to a little tune. Caroline was the \u201cA\u201d in Alice which the lead of the spelling of the word. She did very well and hit all her marks on time. She made her Mama proud. I don\u2019t have any pictures but I don\u2019t take pictures of professional productions as a courtesy to the company. But I have it in my head. The show was fun. The puppets were mostly oversized pageant puppets. The class enjoyed it although some of the original Carol dialogue went right over their heads. I enjoyed watched them watch it. My group behaved very well and we got back on the bus and back to the school in one piece.<\/p>\n
I am grateful that I got to see Caroline\u2019s first foray on the professional stage. I have a feeling it will be the first of many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
