Alamo Village needs the children to help them with some fresh material! I think the kids loved this play in part because of their fondness for the wonderful western skits at Alamo Village. :) Thanks for commenting. Love you! Aunt Kate - you are right!

What a GREAT idea! Joshua acted as scene director (or something like that) this year and last. He cued the different actors and made sure they were heading out on stage at the right time. He really enjoyed it but he also had a fairly decent size part in the play itself. What all does the assistant director do? Do they start out with that role from the very beginning? Does it need to be an adult or can one of the older children really be a help in this way? Something to think about. Thanks for the great idea!

Thank you for all your kind words about the other children (especially Daniel who felt a little left out in the attention given to his older siblings). I have some other great pictures of Polly and her brother, Deputy Dudley. I need to be sure and pass them along. Not to mention the great one of little Tarah holding a gun. Priceless!

Although there may have been some forgotten lines, what a great experience for the kids to KNOW that there wouldn't be that kind of help available, and they were encouraged on their own to continue, improvise, or remember. Kathy, I do the same thing, take tons of pictures but then miss out on the flow of whatever it is. It's a hard choice, but I appreciate having those pics around later for my kids. :) It looks wonderful!!

They could use some new material- and yours sound wonderful!! Loved the pics. Aunt Kate I think you should send some of your plays to the Alamo Village.

We just performed in our 10th MCT play on Friday night and I hope to blog those pictures VERY SOON! It's awesome. One thing they do when auditioning kids is open up spots for assistant directors! I don't even know how we would do plays anymore without those assistant directors.. they cue the kids, remind them of their lines right before they go out, run the lights, set up the sound system, etc. Maybe you guys could have some of the older kids be assistant directors next year? There is an amazing amount of organizational info to be learned from that position. Our oldest dd was an AD for her last 3 performances and she loved it even more than being on stage! It was a great experience. Just a thought for you guys for next year. FUN FUN! We just performed in our 10th MCT play on Friday night and I hope to blog those pictures VERY SOON! It’s awesome.
