Rockin' the 80's Child Style

This year, our Broadway Bound theme was "Rockin' the 80's We had great songs like "We built this city" "I love rock and roll" "Stray Cat Strut" and "We are the world" to name a few.




We all had a blast getting ready for this show. Complete with crimped hair and blue eyeshadow! It was a great night and such a fun show!!!!

The Family that Plays together, Stays together...

We have had a very busy Summer (as usual) but a very fun Summer. The entire family was cast in Kudzu's productions of "Bye Bye Birdie"




Stephanie was cast in the lead role playing Rosie, along side with her real life boyfriend Derek Preusch playing Albert. They had great chemistry together (go figure) and did a great job!




I was not only cast in the show, but was also the choreographer!




Our favorite scene in the show, had to be the Shriner scene! It was a real show stopper, and got a laugh from everyone in the theatre thanks to our friends Chris Wade, Shane Childers, Norm Arent, BJ Jackson, Jack Nicholes and JT Taylor. They were so much fun to work with and really brought comedy to every scene they were in!





Brittanie played Alice, one of Kim Macafee's friends and was able to sing in a quartet singing "One Boy" Great job Brittanie, she was a perfect Alice! Kyleigh was cast as a teen in "telephone hour" and Kameron was cast as Randolf Macafee, Kim's younger brother. Everyone did a great job!!!!

Let me share this whole new world with you

This Summer, Kidzu's camp show was "Aladdin" We had a great turn out, and a very talented group of kids! Brittanie played a Narrator, Taylor played a villager, and Kameron played one of the ding dong guards. Kyleigh decided that she, like her momma likes the "behind the scenes" kind of work.





We had a fantastic young lady, Ireland play the Genie, and really took over the role! She even let me put blue stage makeup on her for the "full effect"




As the director, its always nice to have a great team! This year, I was able to take a break from doing the choreography as well as directing. Although I do love to just do it all myself, this year I really welcomed the break from a local dancer! It was so nice! ;)



Kameron and his best bud, Philip were both guards and played off each other very well! Very funny!!!


In our camps, we not only put on a fun show, we allow the kids to learn all areas of the Theatre. They learn not only Blocking, Acting, Stage direction, and choreography, they build their set as well. This year I had a fun idea to actually have a flying carpet that flies! I know right!!! The kids all took turns taking a ride on the magic carpet, while our dear crew took turns running the fly! It was sooooo heavy with the kids on it! We love you Richard! ;)
