Last weekend Annaleigh's tutorial drama class performed the children's classic The Secret Garden, and Annaleigh, as I've mentioned here before, was cast in the lead role as Mary Lennox. They needed some extra children, so much to his chagrin, Annaleigh volunteered Harrison, so you'll also see him in his dramatic debut. First, before you ever arrive at the theater, it's necessary that you have a proper, period hairstyle, which unfortunately can't be achieved without the help of your pitifully pregnant mother.
One must wear these ridiculous rollers all day, leading up to the play, including to your brother's soccer game and McDonald's for lunch. It's one of the prices of fame. And when you've properly arranged your Victorian sausage roll curls and attached a bow that's the size of the state of Vermont, you're ready to go on...
Harrison, even though he didn't have a speaking role, also had to be in period dress. We went the understated route with khaki pants and nice little vest. He was only slightly disturbed that his cap came from Limited Too...
Together they look the part of a quaint couple of Victorian children. All they need are their tea cups and jump ropes...
Here's a partial cast shot....
See the kid in the dark suit to the left? He's also in Annaleigh's science class, and they e-mail each other some and chat on Facebook. We're watching him.... Here's a shot from the play, Mary with Dickon and Collin in the garden...
And then a shot of the finale...
For your viewing pleasure, I taped a couple of the scenes. This first one is Mary's introduction to the large Sowerby family, the peasants who serve at Mistlethwaite Manor. It's the one that Harrison's in.
And then this next one, is one of my favorites from the play. You'll see why if you watch it to the end...
Next up is The Music Man in the spring.... |
