May the moderating gods find it in their hearts not to chastise me too harshly if they don’t like this post… Some of you already know that I co-run a children’s musical theatre workshop program. We are just wrapping up our 12 week musical theatre production class (kids ages 4 to 14) and are putting on a three act children’s operetta based on the Jack and the Magic Beanstalk fairytale. Basically, it’s like G&S for kids, fun for all ages, complete with tapdancing cow, magic tricks, lots of singing and dancing, and humor that both kids and parents will enjoy! The kids are adorable (especially our fearsome pirates, who all stand under 3ft6), the voices are solid, and it’s just an all around cool little play. The shows are: Tuesday, May 3 Thursday, May 5 Thursday, May 12 Friday, May 13 … at 7:30pm and will be performed at the Living Waters Christian Church in Hopkins. We have discounts for reserved tickets for people involved in communities we know (like the SDMB!) So to reserve a ticket (or tickets!) email me at [info@upstageworkshop.com](mailto:info@upstageworkshop.com) and mention you’re a doper! 🙂 Tix also available at the door on performance nights. Just thought I’d pass on the info, I’m very proud of our little tykes. If this had been a grown-up show, I wouldn’t have posted… but hey… it’s for the wee ones. 🙂 I’ll be sittin’ at the piano with Pirate (my aussie puppy). Valen, my toller, is a Pirate, and Zap, the aussie, is a police dog. Kids, dogs, all on stage… recipe for disaster or total cuteness overload… Elly ---

We originally moved this thread out-of-sight while we discussed it.

You forgot the spider. :mad: Also: gramma and grampa say that next play you must have a matinee so they can come and meet the puppies I keep telling them about. 😃 ---

You had me until Hopkins. Well, that and 7:30. Riley’s bedtime is 8:00. Don’t let the badge go to Zap’s head. ---

Ellenfair, I’m trying to send you e-mail. The address in your profile bounces. Can you e-mail me at the address in mine?
