A Star is Born!

I had decided that Jocelynn needed an extra-curricular activity, that wasn't very pricey, thus making our options were limited, so when I saw a flyer at the music store for an after-school drama program, I decided that to call and get more information, they said that they had already started, but needed more people, and that they were meeting at the park. (I guess I should have been a little leery right then), but we decided to go ahead and give it a try. Daniel took her to her first practice, and Jocelynn was a good sport. They met at first at the park, but when it got colder, they met behind the glass store, that has a room for rent. The director also had other casts for other plays who met at her home in Grantsville. So, it was nice that she found a place, so we didn't have to go to Grantsville each week. Anyways, to make a long story short, Jocelynn was cast as a "servant girl" and "Countess Angelina DeRosa Marie Tarantella Vincente Ala Gina Malettie Gallardi De Bella Donna..." in a play called "Pirates Rule the Seas" whichwas a musical. She was the cutest little actress there ever was, and we decided that she definitely stole the show! She just shined up on that stage. She did her very best, and we couldn't have been prouder! A funny sidenote: The play was on two different nights, Nana came up on one of the nights, that she could, to see the play, and it also the night of Kate's choir concert. Well, the night before the other plays she was directing, went way over, so our play started about 40 minutes late, so the next night, we decided to run and catch part of Kate's performance, but, apparently the show didn't run over, and Jocelynn almost missed the whole thing, thanks to her crazy mother and nana! Another, even funnier, sidenote (especially if you didn't the first one was very funny): Jocelynn played the mother of a girl who falls in love with the "mean captain" of a ship, that's been taken over by pirates, well that girl, in the middle of falling in love...is playing, twisting, and twirling her long bangs, and is acting oblivious to the man she is in love with... Nana thought it was part of the script, but Nye! It was sooo funny! I wish my camera had batteries, and I could have videoes her, because I'm pretty sure it would have gone viral...or won America's Funniest Videos! Here's a video of my cute gal, not the funny one, I hope! I didn't watch it first, and it's taking forever to upload, so if it works, I'm posting it.
