Grease--OH YEAH!!!

So kinda funny story--at the FINAL performance of "Annie" I discovered that one of the other orphans--Pepper (Jessica Sindodis) lived almost WALKING distance from my house!!! Would have been GREAT to have known that because the driving to and from Queen Creek was killer there the final few weeks:) Oh well:) Carlie and Jessica were good friends then and are even better friends now.


Jessica's mom called me a few weeks ago wondering if Carlie wanted to do a music theater camp in Phoenix with Jessica. HECK YEAH she did!!! And they just happened to be doing "Grease." One of my ALL TIME favs!!! (YES! I know the story line is HORRIBLE but the music is AMAZING!!!) So we definitely carpooled to this as it was in downtown Phoenix at the Phoenix Children's Theatre.

The kids met Monday-Friday from 9-3:30 and then put together these little show! Carlie got to be a "Greaser" and Jessica was a "Preppy" this time--funny because Jessica was "Pepper" the meanest orphan who Carlie (a nice orphan) had to do a few fight scenes with in Annie:)

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance! Not bad for 5 days of rehearsals. The kids wrote ALL of the lines in the scenes and the scenes were HILARIOUS!!! Carlie LOVED every minute of it (the vocal coach there insisted on Carlie taking her card for future reference:) Now the boys in this group weren't the best of singers but I say "hats off to them for giving it a go:)" GREAT job guys!!!
