Last week at OCA, a traveling theatre group from Missoula Children's Theatre was in town to put on a performance of "The Little Mermaid". MCT is really an amazing group. They have 2 traveling directors that show up at your school on Monday afternoon to have auditions. They immediately audition and cast the show (approximately 60 cast members) and the larger roles start rehearsal 20 minutes after the auditions are over. Over the next for days, they have a total of 14 hours of rehearsal with the students. On Friday, they have a dress rehearsal after school and their first show is Friday at 7:00pm and a second show is done on Saturday afternoon.
This past week at OCA, Paige was cast as one of the mermaids, Delia. The other girl in the picture is Maryn Kingsley who is a friend of Paige's and one of the other mermaids. It is truly amazing what these kids can accomplish in 4 days. Paige was beautiful and awesome in her role. The singing and harmony of the 4 girls that were mermaids was beautiful.
Paige really loves singing and being in shows like this. She is a very talented young lady and we are so proud of her.
For those of you wondering, "Where is Sheridan"? Well, musical theatre is not exactly her thing so she was in the audience cheering on her sister and friends and taking pictures.
