Truthfully, when I danced in a classical ballet company for a few years, my favorite performances were Junior Programs - where we performed comedies as a field trip for elementary students... it was marvelous to see the kids reacting aloud in the audience. Far more entertaining for us than for them in all likelihood! :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing - I much enjoyed it!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-53518074788955324442010-01-06T17:04:03.440+11:002010-01-06T17:04:03.440+11:00Yup, you had me worried with the frogs.Yup, you had me worried with the frogs.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-89836394102721056122010-01-05T21:07:56.407+11:002010-01-05T21:07:56.407+11:00Sounds fabulous - thanks for the review :0)Sounds fabulous - thanks for the review :0)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-29069188046811644572010-01-05T21:07:44.939+11:002010-01-05T21:07:44.939+11:00@Alix, Liz & LwK I'm sure you would all lo...@Alix, Liz & LwK I'm sure you would all love it and hopefully it will end up being put on somewhere nearby for all of you.

It’s unavoidable in the story, and without the shock of seeing it, we wouldn’t feel the same elation when Thomas eventually rises above it. But we hope that by making it stylized and short it won’t dominate the whole experience for kids, so that they are unable to appreciate the happier scenes. <br /><br />Because our audiences so far have been mostly adults, it’s hard to judge how children are responding to the show, so it’s interesting to hear that your children wanted to talk about it afterwards. That’s the whole idea of course.<br /><br />Richard TullochAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-66965491712961306842010-01-05T07:21:45.653+11:002010-01-05T07:21:45.653+11:00The book was wonderful too, but yes, confronting a...The book was wonderful too, but yes, confronting and terribly sad in parts.

What a concept! I like Thomas. Sounds like I'd like the play.<br /><br />Mim! Your gorgeous sweet crystal Christmas tree earrings arrived this weekend! Oh, I adore them! They are so very lovely. Thank you so much, sweet friend, for making good on your promise and sending me a handcrafted gift. Unfortunately, they didn't arrive in time to wear for Christmas, but I got them plenty early for <i>next</i> Christmas.<br /><br />Thank you again so very very much. I not only will cherish the earrings, but you for going to the trouble and expense to send them to me. I even saved the mailing envelope. Don't get too many things from Australia, you know!<br /><br />Much love and good wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2010. Casa Hice loves you!Boozy Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765083787738573580noreply@blogger.com
