Today was the Dress Rehearsal for our Summer Camp 2024 Show
"The Frog Prince." Before the run through, I gave a pep talk to the few people who came for the preview. I told them that for kids, having a responsive audience really pulls a performance out of them.
We practiced giggling, laughing, and full-out guffaws, clapping, and even giving a few audible responses. I must say that they really came through for us. I could tell that these kids, many who had never been in a show before, performed like old pros because of the audience. It was a joy to see.
Even though it was the first time we worked with the microphones, and we didn't have our set completely finished yet, and we even had to go without a few of the costume parts, the show was well received.
Some of the comments were:
Grandparent: "This was the best children's show I've ever seen."
Aunt from out of town: "I sure wish we lived closer, I'd love to have my kids in a show of this quality."
Older man: "This was a genuinely funny show!"
Woman: "The songs were so delightful and catchy, by the end, I wanted to sing along."
Father: "I liked how the kids were learning something good."
Mom: "You did it again! My children had such a good time doing this summer camp. Another great show!"
One of the moms even brought in treats to share with the cast -- Frog cupcakes. So cute!
