Mulan, Jr.

Sophie returned and Rhys made his acting debut in this year's elementary school production of Mulan, Jr. With the drama club growing by a third to just under 100 students, my kids were happy to have been cast in speaking parts after their auditions.

Sophie starred as the matchmaker for a bit of comedy--she was so mean! And Rhys made a great bad Hun sidekick to the really bad lead Hun.  The second night Rhys got to wear a villain mustache, to make him that much more nasty.

We were glad to have Rhys be able to act as he had a bad stomach bug that knocked him down for a few days and I was happy to be able to attend, catching the bug right after Rhys. Sophie avoided the drama with drama by getting the bug after the weekend of the play.

Sophie was honored in the program of being one of 5 kids that has performed all 3 upper grade years since the drama club began.
