A star is born!

Las week, Abby not only turned 10 years old (Happy Birthday, sweetheart!), but spent the week at her very first musical theater camp. Friday afternoon, Abby made her stage debut as the golden fairy, Solara, in Sleeping Beauty. Yes, we know the movie only had 3 fairies, but we have it on good authority that it was only due to a breakdown in contract negotiations with the golden fairy. She apparently wanted more . . . gold.



Thankfully, there were no such issues with the Fort Bend Theater production. The golden fairy was all ready to make her debut . . .



Here she is singing "Let's have some magic now . . . "





Leading the fairy chorus in the finale reprise of "Once upon a dream . . . ":

And posing afterwards for pictures with her fellow fairies plus Maleficent and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty).

I think I can say (completely unbiased, of course) that she was wonderful! She remembered all her lines (and helped a few others remember theirs) and sang wonderfully and (most importantly) loudly. She did a great job, and we were so very proud of her!

Almost as soon as we got home from the cast party . . . er . . . dinner at Sweet Mesquite, she was already wishing she was back on stage and asking when she can do theater camp again.

Hopefully this will be just the beginning, and there will be many more stage appearances in her future! Great job, Abs! We are so proud of you!
