Peter Pan and Wendy...

Without further ado, we proudly present...

and Wendy Moira Angela Darling.

Besides the Christmas musicals at our church this is the first acting that Sarah has done and I have to say we thought she did a pretty amazing job, as did the rest of the students. She showed such a confidence on stage of who she was as Wendy, that we were blown away AND her singing was phenomenal. I just wish some of the songs had been longer, I could listen to her sing all afternoon. All the cast practiced long and hard for a full 3 months and in the end their hard work paid off with a great play for students in 5th to 8th grade.
"Don't close the window, he might come back!"
Think of the happiest things, it's the same as having wings.
My favorite scene, she sings "Your Mother and Mine."
Taking their bows.

A few short videos to share from iPhones to let you hear Sarah singing. You can click fullscreen at the bottom right to enlarge.





We went to both shows, as did both of Sarah's grandparents. We all wanted to make sure we didn't miss anything. Brayden actually got to see the show 3 times, as they performed it for the students at school during the school week.

Sarah had the most advanced ticket sales with 32 tickets. She has some adoring fans who came to see her as Wendy.

Girlfriends - Cayla, Trinity and Ella
The audience was full both days. Brayden and Sammy took their seats in the middle of the aisle.

Brayden loved the play and couldn't wait to get Captain Hook and Mr. Smee's autographs afterwards. He also took the opportunity to get up on the stage and do some sword fighting himself.

At the end of the show on Saturday they had a reception, which included this cake for the cast members.

At the end of the weekend PaPa & MeMe gave Sarah special gifts to remember the weekend and her role as Wendy, flowers and this framed Peter Pan and Wendy book page print.

What a great play! What a great Wendy! What a great weekend!
