Toward the end of November, I will be in a local production of Peter Pan. My daughter has been in two previous productions with the South Jordan Community Theatre. Since I was driving her to most of her rehearsals, and because she was enjoying it so much, I decided to try out for this latest production. I liked the idea that this was something she and I could do together.Boy-oh-boy, did I underestimate the level of commitment that is involved in a theater production. I did 7 hours of dancing, singing, and "Arrgghh"ing today (I am the pirate Cecco). I had a blast and am really enjoying getting to know all my fellow pirates, but my feet sure are sore.
I am so glad for the opportunity my daughter and all the other young people are getting though this play. They are learning so many skills and being so productive with their time (I think I was pretty useless at their age).
We walked though most of Act 2 today. It was neat to see all of the pieces coming together. I am highly looking forward to opening night!

Every drama teacher in America loves what you've written. It's why I love my job so much! Everyday I get to teach kids skills that they will use and value for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah, and there are no papers to grade.
Break a leg!
